My perception is that, collectively, HN hates and criticizes Google much more than Apple and Mozilla. I mean, much more. This last sentence accusation sounded bizarre to me.
Not the entirety of HN. As I have more than once delicately pointed out[1], Mozilla is Google's bitch.
That is mostly because Apple almost never does something like this, and Mozilla literally never does.
Because Google is a web advertisement company that dominates many large spheres: search, browsers (including standards committees), email, mobile (Android is 77% market share) etc. All are things that we've come to view as crucial to modern life.
And time and again they've shown that they only view that dominance as a funnel for ad revenue, data collection, and whatever benefits them at this particular moment.
