Walled garden aside, I think they do care about privacy and security.

It's their brand. And I'm glad it is. It's something Samsung can't copy (I presume because of the Google backbone) or attack.

(Written on a Samsung phone btw.)

Edit. I should probably add why it's good even when I'm not in their ecosystem. It raises the bar for competition and shows that privacy adds value.

I don’t know if they actually care, but I think they figured privacy was a great niche to jump in when they started losing more and more market share to android

It's a brilliant move for Apple because Google can't play that game.

Google is fundamentally an advertising company. They materially benefit from user data in providing a more valuable service to advertisers. If Google takes a strong stance on privacy, it could disadvantage the primary business.

Definitely a differentiator

Yup. They have had issues (think CSAM scandal), but they’re slowly earning back my trust. I’m still a bit wary, but for big tech they have a pretty good track record.
