The logic I follow is that Microsoft is slightly safer than Google, if only because they're probably less capable of doing anything with the data they scrape. Security by incompetence.

    Incompetance doesn't build and maintain the world's leading Operating System... But I believe it has more to do with the privacy scare with Windows 10's launch, during the Alexa/Cortana/Siri always-on-mic stuff.

    Maybe incompetence was too strong a word, but interacting with many MS services feels so disjoint and siloed, I just don't see them building and leveraging user profiles as extensively as Google does.

    Now that is a true statement. Google loves their "everything in one bucket" style of computing. MS is service-based. They have a framework (rn that's Azure, but Windows is also a framework) and bells and whistles get added as needed.
