In order to create a "viable" search engine business, Apple would be required to "sell targeted advertising," which is "not a core business" for the company and would go against its "longstanding privacy commitments."

Not a CORE business. Hmmmmm.

Well, yeah, they hand over everything to Google when using their search engine by default. It's definitely a business for Apple.

They keep their image as privacy friendly, while taking cool cash to let others harvest the data. Stonks.

By that logic FireFox and pretty much every company is in the same boat
