It’s just that there are only a few companies that sell products that apple also sells
Right, the alternatives are sooooooooooo much better.
Googles track record is on point , android for the win. (/s)
Getting rid of Apple entirely would be like removing Coke from the beverage marketplace. It just allows the competition to worsen and consumer choice to be less.
Apple > Google as a company in every moral category
I didn't think it would be such a stretch to say Coke > Pepsi but whatever bro. Apple is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy less intrusive and integrated into the American government than Google.
Google may as well be state sanctioned with how much they're integrated with American military and as American spyware. So if those are the only choices for most people then yeah, I'd absolutely defend Apple over Google.
Don't worry, I'll catch the next bandwagon.

They are both shit.
I like Grapheneos.
It is because there are less roadblocks to completely changing out the OS to be completely degoogled than it is to do the same for an iPhone or iPad. OS is the part that is the most damaging than the hardware itself, and alternate deAppled OS for iPhones and Ipad are pretty much nonexistent.
