I will totally agree with you it all does come down to money, but I feel Apple/Tim Cook is still principled in this regard - he has made a stand that the customer is not the product, and the investors/share holders appear to respect this boundary so far. All that is needed is a shithead CEO to come in and squeeze every cent, which at that point might very well be to monetize users like Google. Anything can change tomorrow.
Btw I'm a hobbyist security researcher, and the more I study Apple/iOS/MacOS, the more impressed I am. I don't actually have any apple devices, but I'm really starting to consider it
