Microsoft claims Apple said no due to pressure by Google.
Sensible logic implies otherwise... as Apple isn't the type of company to succumb to "pressure" (as even Meta couldn't sway Apple, for example).
If you read any article about Apple's incestuous relationship with Google (and vice versa), the word "lucrative" shows up tellingly.
Given that Google is Apple's biggest customer (as far as I remember), and that Apple sold its users' privacy to Google (who is Apple's biggest customer), I'd say that greed was the reason and not "pressure" by M$.
This is not to say Microsoft isn't greedy (they are), nor is it to say that Google isn't as greedy as is Apple (they are too); but just that Apple's reasons likely had more to do with how much they made from the Google deal.

According to what I’ve seen here Apple has the purest of intentions, never lies, values your privacy, makes the best hardware and software, and hates capitalism. How could you equate Apple to Google and Microsoft? Your Name will have a conniption!

Try not to be an ass...
...well, that ship's long-since sailed.
Try not to be as big an ass as Arlen.
Apple is a for-profit company that believes there is value in selling physical products and letting its customers know they aren't in the
business of selling their data.
