Different levels of reality, with the same relevant choices available.

The default Mac browser is Safari, which offers this choice of search engines:

Google
Yahoo
Bing
DuckDuckGo
Ecosia

I think you missed his point. I think he is talking about the OS not the browser.
Apple vs MS .. both track you
Browser tracking is a whole different issue
If you get Bing tracking out of your life by going Mac, you get Apple tracking instead


Again, different levels of reality.

Bing is a search engine. Some have concerns about it and prefer alternative search engines. Search engines do web-based tracking the way lots of websites do, mainly via cookies.

Apple is an operating system. What kind of "Apple tracking" are you thinking of?
