Doesnt Apple also do this with Siri and basically every app unless the user untoggles it?

Yes, for the amount of hate Google gets... Which I think it is fair to be critical of any product that compromises privacy... I recently tried helping my mom clean up her iPhone, and seriously like 100x worse. Almost everything you do on Apple demands you have another Apple device. One of the worst experiences I've ever dealt with.

Kinda sounds like you just don’t know how to use an iPhone.

Absolutely not the case.. I sense a bad case of Stockholm syndrome.

Because i think cleaning up an iPhone is easy?

Isn't there some form of sampling bias here though? The kind of people who generally would care about these things likely also care about interoperability and would be on Android. I wouldn't be surprised if iPhone users simply don't care if Apple demands them to do anything.

Yes and you have to untoggle it for each and every app individually

Except Apple has better marketing, and is primarily marketed for those who're excited for every tech "innovation".
