I think that they would lose customers in droves if they did such badly - a bit like google losing to alternative search engines due to them pushing paid ads first. I’m already rethinking alternatives along the lines of Ungoogled phones - but I still like ios as it just does what it’s supposed to do kinda well. But if I see an ungoogled phone I’m likely to get it as a second phone - or maybe a first phone and iPhone becomes media phone!!

I'd like to think so but I really doubt it, I mean the App Store experience has been long compromised by advertising to the extent where exact searches just show spam apps. I doubt the average iOS user would care if that sort of experience leaked into other parts of the OS.
