This happens every time I use android to connect to a WiFi network. Google stores my info in clear text to them.

Thanks for the warning, I had no idea. Note to self: always give temporary guest passwords to Android users.

They already have all passwords... They are conveniently backed up on android devices. They have the cleartext.

(as do apple btw.)

Apple's WiFi password sharing system uses iCloud Keychain, which is end-to-end encrypted [1]

As long as Apple can run arbitrary code on your device, protocols do not matter.
