Saying Apple is much better than TikTok, Meta and Google, is just setting the bare very low... Apple advertise heavily about how privacy oriented they are, it's only fair to compare them to other privacy champions (regardless of company size) e.g. Proton, Signal.
I absolutely agree with you. It's not possible for most to be a security conscious self-hosting gourou, and we can't expect for everyone to care about digital privacy and security. It's why I see it as our duty, as more tech-savy people, to set the standard for the industry, advocate and lobby for the companies to do better.
You don't ask nurse to set the safety standards for electrical installations, but everyone benefits from electricians and engineers defining and setting these safety standards !
It's actually not that people don't care about privacy. It's they don't know about privacy, because they don't think about it, and it's alright. But ask someone random to hand you over their phone unlocked and start browsing their photos. They will care.
Anyway, I'm glad we could have an educating conversation here. I got to learn a couple of things :)
