Well the same is true for the android.

Matter of fact, pushing ads in your face is the only reason Google funds android. They don't even want you to pay them. The SOLE reason for it's existence is for you to click their ads.

What a load of absolute crap. Have you ever even picked up an Android phone? In no way does Google "push ads in your face". In fact, none of the Google apps included with Android have ads. Third party apps may have ads, but that is no different from any other mobile platform.

Google funds Android to promote Google services. Whether Google services pushes ads in your face or not has absolutely nothing to do with Android.

Google owns the largest Android mobile app ad network.
