The third one was FUD that has been debunked. The fourth one has a broken link. The last one regards Apples tracking of iCloud account usage in their apps and services, which is totally optional at least on macOS.
There are plenty of reasons to avoid Apple, and this page lists several, but the privacy argument is not strong here.
