Same as every other corp. A combination of every data point they can get their hands on to build a "consumer" profile on you.
It's that last point, "Inferences", that you should focus on.

I really hate the term “side-loading.” We shouldn’t need a word for the normal way we’ve been installing apps for the past 40 years. If tomorrow Apple decided they were going to start only letting you visit web pages they approved of, we wouldn’t call some sort of alternating system that let you see the rest of the fucking internet “side-paging”. We’d instead call the whole thing bullshit.
They should host a Mastodon server at .gov

I never implied that you said they were the only problem, nor am I proving your point because you perceive me to be "triggered" by the critique that aspects of phones are contributing factors, which I also did not disagree with. I'm simply stating that there are much larger and central factors that are contributing to unhappiness such as political, social, and economic instability, and that people who focus on other people's contrary reactions to the popular talking point that "phones are bad" are not having a discussion in good faith.
Typical megacorp cycle.

Step 2 spend years getting all the data they need
Step 3 get a slap on the wrist for a fraction of what they made and will make from it
Step 4 profit and repeat
