Yes.
Android does all the same shit with your data but worse.
I could install GrapheneOS or whatever else but there’s tradeoffs around actual usability, reliability, etc there I’m not willing to make, especially considering I use my phone for my job. If you are good for you, but don’t assume people are idiots because they prioritize different things than you.
That's valid, I do use GrapheneOS personally and I understand that it's not a choice (or available) for everyone. The thing that grinds my gears my most are the hypocritical Apple users, those who act like the platform is a bastion of Privacy, Security, and Simplicity when in reality it has just as many (or more) flaws as a platform like Samsung's line.
If you're using it as a work phone, I can understand that entirely (I probably should have included that alongside those who need a specific iOS app for their jobs).
