Hard to score them 1 to 1. Apple for example is horrendous at controlling "your" system. Always have been. Tried to help a family member upgrade their MacBook SSD and it's been an absolutely horrendous experience and I gave up and told her I couldn't help her because the process of simply running an OS update was so ridiculously convoluted, not to mention the fact that you even need to update it at all to do so. But their devices are fairly private.
Google is just the complete opposite and empowers global surveillance.
How did you determine their devices are "fairly private"? Actually curious.
I disagree with that. Yes, they enable it, but you can turn (nearly) everything off in the settings and with a few ground rules things are quite good.
Take TikTok, Meta or something like that...you can't turn off most of the data harvesting and profiling.
