Well, they make so much money on selling the content of your files, they better give you a lot of space.

Right, because Apple doesn't collect your data, even though it says they do right in the terms of service you agreed to without reading.

Of course they collect it. But they don’t sell it, because Apple doesn’t like to share and they don’t need that money.

That's not even how it works. No one sells your data, they sell access to what the data means.

Yes we all know this. They don’t sell that either. They may use that to advance their own technology, but as I said before, Apple doesn’t like to share their toys.

“They better give” is a colloquial and more informal version of the above, often used in spoken English or casual writing. It drops the auxiliary verb “had,” which is grammatically necessary but often omitted in informal speech. The meaning is the same as “they’d better give,” but it’s less formal.
