Google is fundamentally a spy company, not a product company

All of FAANG is, if we're being cynically reductive.
Apple has a very different business model than Google (Alphabet). It's not even close to the same in terms of how they make most of their money.
It did do, but now it's putting ads in everything it will rapidly converge to the same practices to optimise shareholder value.
As if hardware companies don't quite famously include spyware in their products. Everything from phones, cars, fridges, TVs, monitors, speakers, light bulbs, laptops and everything else that supports inclusion of spyware.
I don't disagree. They're still a spy company, if we're being cynically reductive.
