It really comes down to business model. Apple is a hardware company, they money on things. Google/Alpha is an Ad company, they make money from your data. Of course they can make their code open source, however their practices is going to be targeted towards getting as much user data as possible.

This cliche is a little dated, considering Apple’s revenue from services is considerably higher than that for Mac. There’s a reason it’s no longer Apple Computer. Since when does a hardware company do credit cards? (And, yes, they do make money from your data in this way.)
