Lack of choice in doing what? Google and Facebook will take data directly from publishers and there is essentially nothing we can do about it. At best it's a sale, in many cases it's plain theft. Apple, as far as I can tell, does none of that or at worst very little.
This isn't to say that there are no problems with Apple. I have any number of notes about how they operate their platform. But on this topic they really aren't a good whataboutism option.
