>I'm convinced that if they'd have won that case they'd have squashed Google, Apple wouldn't have had its chance to thrive

I am not convinced that would happen and even if that would happen, I am not convinced it would be a bad thing.

Google spying on people and selling their data is worse from my point of view than anything MS did. Also, Apple has a far greater lock down on their products than MS ever dreamed of.

But it is no (so much) worse than what MS does with telemetry.
