Ah, yes. Because a publicly traded company would never look for additional revenue streams atop their high margins.

Oh...

In terms of overall revenue it's a side hustle for Apple, unlike Google they can live without it.

Justifying why Apple does it compared to Google doesn't make it better. That's like saying, "Well, they didn't hit me THAT hard so it's okay. The other guy would hit WAY harder." Neither is okay

Yeah, but I have to use some kind of phone. And TV box. And computer. Apple is definitely better than the alternatives in terms of data brokerage and serving me ads, which is important to me.
