I use to think so. There have been things more recently that makes me unsure if the distinction is as large as we would like to think. Apple is clearly less transprent too so it makes it realy hard to judge.
Less transparent my ass. The first time you use any apple app it gives you a summary of the privacy implications, what data is collected, etc. that’s the exact opposite of your statement.

I used to think that until this https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2025/01/03/apple-siri-class-action-lawsuit/77426858007/ . Claims are one thing. Actions are another. The sad fact is Apple is so locked so there is very little way to verify anything. There is also very little choice to opt out. At least Android is FOSS and you do not have to use Google apps or services.
