Why is that "the issue"? There are many other problems with excessive telemetry besides data being sold to third parties. Besides, both Google and Apple claim that they don't sell telemetry data to third parties, so how is that aspect of the issue even relevant here?

Well, ok but Apple also
- does not use that data to sell stuff to you.
- don't have a reason to profile you and store those profiles constantly updated.
- don't have a reason to "follow" you across the web everywhere you go to update that profile.
Just having that profile on you makes a company a liability. C you trust a company that makes money solely based on the information they collect about you to make decisions that benefit you? or your privacy and security?
Well, the question I always ask is who has more to gain (financially) from selling user telemetry: Apple or Google?

Any third party that would pay google enough for the data would probably be seen by Alphabet as a company ripe for disruption.
