The article also states:

"Tech giants, like Google and Microsoft have contracts that are significantly more wordy and hard to understand."

and

"unlike Amazon, AirBnb, Adobe, Buzzfeed, Microsoft, Instagram, Slack, Tinder and WeChat, Apple does not include a consumer-hostile “binding arbitration” clause, which would block their customers from ever taking them to court."

So, it seems that, as large companies go, they aren't the worst.

In Germany, the typical click-through contract you only get to see after you have purchased the product, or that is for software required to operate hardware that you have already purchased, is invalid.

So I happily click.
