This sounds awfully similar to Microsoft anti open source textbook that no one can be trusted besides them, you always need their platform and services between. The only difference is that now people are shilling Apples fake corpo security propaganda talking points and sadly they are often developers themselves.

I've definitely been surprised by the sentiment here lately that iOS devices are more secure. I don't know enough about iOS to evaluate that claim, but my impression of phone security is to basically assume it's been unlocked by someone even if most apps are successful sandboxed

Google sells advertisements, Apple sells... access to its store involving a hefty 30% tax.

Goggle's interests are aligned with the surveillance capitalists, Apple is either competitive (see Facebook) or ambivalent.

Apple can differentiate itself by trying to sell the security angle and hurting the surveillance of people in their app ecosystem doesn't hurt them. Comparatively, I would say Apple has a nontrivial advantage in security, though I wouldn't make a broad statement that iOS is "secure".
