Better than every mainstream alternative, no?
I mean, of course, yeah. By mainstream I mean what your average consumer would purchase and use. They almost certainly will not be rooting a device
I am the family tech support and I certainly will not be rooting a device.
And I would almost certainly recommend Apple to my family for the “mainstream privacy”
Nobody would define that as mainstream.

Rooted, degoogled AOSP is definitively not “mainstream”. Mainstream to me means something you can but off the shelf and start using without having to modify it.
Are you kidding man? The options are things you can buy off the shelf and turn on.
If you are rooting, configuring etc you are off the mainstream
The fuck is wrong with you? You type like a child with carbon monoxide poisoning
Well, we know they're not, but the people that eat up all the ads Apple makes about their shallow privacy features you have to manually turn on don't.
