How much did you pay for Siri, Safari, apple car play, Apples productivity suite, Apple maps, etc. Don't act like Google is the only guilty party in the old "if you don't pay for it you are the product" game. The fact you actually pay for some of the shite Google offers for free believing you're now under some Apple security blanket makes you a bigger chump than the rest of us chumps.

Which of these can I use, realistically, without paying Apple a dime for a prior purchase? All of these are features/extensions of Apple hardware that a user would have paid for. If iPhone/Mac didn't exist, neither would any of these things.
Siri is a feature I can only get through the purchase of an Apple iPhone or Macintosh product.
Safari on Windows existed to shake up the browser market and was abandoned 8 years ago, so now it can only be used on an Apple iPhone or Macintosh product.
Maps can only be accessed on an iPhone/Macintosh
Out of all the stuff you brought up iWork is the only product that can currently be used by making an Apple ID and just logging in
If Apple were so interested in collecting data and profiting off of it to the same degree that Google is, it sure is weird that they don't make these services accessible to anyone except those who bought their expensive hardware. How come maps.google.com and maps.bing.com go straight to a mapping service, but maps.apple.com is a website advertising to buy Apple devices so you can get their maps?

With new cycling directions and alerts for speed cameras and red-light cameras, Maps makes it easier, safer, and more environmentally friendly to get where you need to go with any of your Apple devices. And with Guides to help you find the best places to eat, shop, and explore, you’ll have more to do and experience when you get there.
Meanwhile 99% of Google services do not require any prior purchase.
