    But but they don’t sell your data /s

    Yeah silly it’s too valuable, they hoard it and sell services that are powered by your data.

    It’s a great income stream. Google charges oems a fee for running Android. Then charges consumers a fee when they spend money on apps or buy things with Google pay. Then charges for ads using your private data, and ads are reported to be the biggest income stream overall for the company, including search on desktop.
