Obviously your mileage may vary. But many of us just manage to use them without ever even thinking about their motivations/evilness.
The main place I hear people talking about the "bad behavior" of Google/Apple is here. In real life, it's typically only the folks who refuse to use the likes of Apple/Google/Microsoft/Amazon/Facebook/Twitter/ESPN/CNN/FOX/Reddit/Stackoverflow, etc... and only browse the internet via VPN/Tor that I hear discussing the bad behavior of tech giants. *shrug*
I'll use them all until they don't work for me and my processes. Then I'll do something else. But it won't be because of some perceived greed that I stop using the free services the giants offer.
