Apple used to seem particularly egregious because their marketing used Spin and exploited status insecurities.
They would put the word "Security" or "Privacy" on the screen. They never claimed they were good at security. They just said "Security". It was implied. Factually, they had little to stand on.
They also did the thing car markers do, where they exploit status insecurities. They were wholly successful, a lower-class person cannot own an Android phone without getting flack. Meanwhile, an upper-middle class person doesnt have this burden. I can drive a crappy car and I'm seen as prudent. A lower class person drives a crappy car and is seen as poor. All of this comes from marketing the status position of a company.
