    Wasn’t the point of Apple always that they don’t sell the data to third parties and not that they don’t collect anything?

      No advertising company really sells data to third parties. Keeping data to yourself and only selling advertising spots is what brings money. Companies generally don’t like strengthening their competition.

      I don’t think people’s concern is that Microsoft is selling data, but that it is collecting it to began with. So for those people Apple wouldn’t be any better for PC use, since they are more likely to just be tired of pushing of account logins and data collection for desktop OS.

      Point of Apple seemed more to me people liking the aesthics and performance of MacOS itself than seeing it as a privacy respecting OS.
