I like to own my stuff and have control of it install install whatever I want.
Yeah but android is owned by an advertising company, all they want is data. Apple has a better system and less need to push for more data.
Apple is also an advertizing company, and walled garden ecosystem makes it harder to avoid its reach.
But I can removed them instead Apple if they want to track you cant remove it from there. Even on their secure mode the DNS was reaching to Apple servers.
Android is not owned by Google, but used and heavily supported by Google. It is open source, you can check how much data bare Android is collecting.
And 'all they want is data' is wrong, too, all they want is money. Same with Apple, all they want is money. And if they get more money by collecting user data to target more people to buy Apple products, they will do that.
All they want is data because that is their model for how they make money. Android may not be outright owned by Google but it's development and funding without Google would be on a very different level. Yeah it is open source to an extent but the versions out by Google have their changes made, which goes across the vast majority of android devices.
