Interesting as a company change (IMHO), from privacy-focused Apple to Google... :D

Privacy focused? Oh, you mean how they pivoted when their Ad business failed.

Didn't their ad business fail because they refused to share/collect as much user data, and hence advertisers were less willing to spend on their platform?

Not to my recollection. They exited the Ad business because it was a financial failure. Do you really think Apple would have exited a business if they were on track to make Google like revenue from it? No way - the shareholders would have raided the building.

My comment was ironic...the "IMHO" was there for avoiding Apple fanboy.
