      Apple babies their customers and tells them what they want. Their   
   customers, in turn, trust them, despite having no reason for   
   doing so. (Apple runs their own ad business, after all.)   
      
      A good example is the "feature" to back up an iPhone online just   
   in case yours gets lost. Few Windows users would trust their   
   computer's contents to Microsoft. And most are not so tech-illiterate   
   that they'd need to.   
      
       I think this is difficult for Mac devotees to understand. They think   
   they're in a club or on a team, opposed to Windows users. People on   
   Windows don't think that way. It's just a computer, like a Ford Focus is   
   just a car.   
      
      Though to be fair, in my experience at least 90% of all people   
   don't much care about privacy if it requires any effort. Apple   
   fans are just a bit more ninny-headed about it. Part of the reason   
   they use Apple devices is so that they won't have to think. (Most   
   of the people I know who switched to Macs did it for one reason:   
   They believed Macs were immune to malware, so they wouldn't   
   have to think about it. Essentially, Mac is today's AOL.)
