That’s more likely to be the answer. If Apple were content having Google’s sloppy seconds while having full opportunity to make Alphabet level profits^1^ then the world would turn upside down. It’s more likely that Apple doesn’t see an easy avenue to those mountains of ad-revenue money without compromising their privacy image. Might as well take Google’s cheque to the bank the same time as iCloud subscription profits cheque.
