Selling their user data to Google? They're putting Google as the default search engine, but users are free to change it. I don't understand how that's the same. People would probably set it to Google anyway these days, which is a shame because Kagi is the best search engine.
Apple does make a big deal about having sensible and secure defaults. This is the issue
They are receiving billions so that their users use Google search - why is this a question?
No. That would be if they set up Apple Search and sent some or all of the resulting data to Google.
This is much worse. They don't have to do any work, and so they have no control over what data their devices give Google.
