You don't know if they really do what they say they do. This also doesn't go for stock android with GMS. The best privacy OS is AOSP. I also don't know how Apple is more trustworthy, they don't open source anything and you can't sideload apps unless you go through some jailbreaking process which has its own risks. Android at least does allow you to sideload apks.

Side loading has absolutely nothing to do with privacy. My main point is that Apple is more privacy friendly than others

Fun fact it has something to do with privacy. And list the others.

Primarily Google as Google is the only other major operating system developer in the mobile market and is also the biggest advertising company in the world
