They don’t profit off spying on you selling your data to other companies, this makes them the lesser evil but they’re still evil for sure.

Where is that in their revenue streams?
Nearly all of their profit comes from selling hardware and services.
You could argue they profit off insecure default settings, such as having Google as the default search engine or analyzing Siri recordings, but to date I’m not aware of Apple either profiting directly off data it collects from users, or selling that data to third-parties.
They don’t need to, and the trust they risk losing from doing so is a powerful detractor.
They’re not perfect, but as far as corporations go they could be much, much worse.
