Interesting. One of the two triggers to investigate iOS in my household (the other was deprecating Hangouts) was noticing that pihole was showing about a third of the DNS requests were blocked, and those were overwhelmingly from mobile devices.

Moving to iOS dropped that to 3%. This is a few years ago, so I'm sure that the adware companies have got harder-to-block mechanisms for their surveillance capitalism. But certainly at that point, it was a very significant difference.

Apple's requirement to be clear about how customer data is being used by third parties has only reinforced the value of that change for me.
