I just saw the other comment, and have edited my post.

I am sure Apple uses my data in a lot of evil ways, I never said they didn't, I said that an Apple account is less terrible than a Facebook account.

I'm not a former Meta employee, so I can't say. But from what I know, I wouldn't be so confident in your conclusion.

Edit: Unless "terrible" is just referencing inconvenience. In that cas, yeah, Apple accounts are certainly more convenient, secure, and seemingly less intrusive.
