The difference is their business model. Google offers you free things, in exchange for showing you ads. Same with Facebook. This incentivizes them to find more ways to get more data about everyone.

Apple mostly makes money by selling you goods. Privacy can become a feature of those goods, increasing its value. They are incentivized to protect privacy.

This doesn't make Apple better. It's just that they're in a different market.

The different market is (mostly) better. (My opinion)

If you have enough money to pay. For many people watching ads is preferable payment method.

Funny that people who can afford to pay to not see any ads are the same people that advertisers would like to get to.
