Apple's business model is more compatible with rights YOU care about, but it is false to say it is compatible with "peoples rights"

Apple is more compatible with Privacy rights, but wholly not compatible with ownership rights, portability rights, free speech rights, etc.

Their draconian ecosystem policies around payment, hardware lock in, and platform lock in are IMO just as bad if not worse than Google draconian policies around data privacy

It seems however you do not place any value on anything other than privacy

This is an important point. There are no good guys in cell phones right now, at least none that are large enough on the stage to really scare Apple/Google.

EDIT: I feel like I should give a shout-out to Pinephone, LineageOS and GrapheneOS as some better options, although they are all obviously not mainline.
