Most? Probably not. But developers are more sensitive to privacy issues in general, because they work in the most privacy invasive industry that ever existed. They know how much corporations dig into your stuff, and they might have even implemented some of it. At least speaking personally, I know my purchasing behavior changed on Amazon when I worked for them and realized how much they tracked me.
More importantly, there is an oligopoly in tech and up until now, only one of the manufacturers of tech devices cared about privacy. And to that extent, I wouldn't be surprised if vast majority of developers who care about privacy have biased themselves towards apple. And now they have a reason to treat apple like every other privacy invading company.

That’s right. I like the idea that on android, I can use stock tools like rsync to manage the photos/music on my phone. With Apple it’s been a constant battle against iTunes to do those basic things. The only reason I chose Apple last time I bought a phone is because I’m willing to sacrifice a bit of convenience for the perception of better security/privacy. If they lose on that front, then I’ll hop to whichever phone is easiest for me to use the way I want to.
