If that were truly the case, wouldn’t Apple and Canonical be doing exactly that?

Except Canonical was doing exactly that with amazon ads in the launcher.

Ubuntu did infest their OS with ads (via amazon). Last I checked they still did but backlash caused them to disable it by default. I can't speak to apple's data collection and ad practices but I'm guessing they've been doing some form of both.
