Ok, so you were saying you prefer a privacy focused OS but settle for iOS because it's simpler. Fair point.
As far as data collection goes, Google isn't selling it either. Apple and Google are both collecting your data to assign you to certain demographics. They then sell ad space, and the people that purchase those ads can select the demographic they want it to go to. It's not ideal, but it's certainly better than them selling your actual personal data to third parties.
