Well to be fair, Microsoft has been in the scumbag game a lot longer than Google. They're professional about screwing you over. Google is a bit more blatant about the whole, we control you and don't care what you think, thing.
It's kinda like saying I trust Lex Luthor far more than Harvey Dent.
Like a flesh eating bacteria vs brain cancer
I can respect that. I'd rather get mugged by a classy gangster with standards than... whatever Google is in this metaphor. Your middle school friend who got rich and turned into an asshole?
If microsoft is a classy gangster wearing feather hats casually extorting you in the broad of day but in a really charming way, Google is the deranged junkie in the back alley waiting to come at you screaming with a knife demanding your ~~xanax pills~~ private information
That's like choosing the mafia over the cartels.
I mean - I get it, but.
