Apple absolutely does collect huge amounts of data from the users. The difference is they don't directly 'sell' that data to advertisers. Instead they get paid to personalize the ads themselves and wear that as a badge for 'advocating privacy'.

I don't know any headphones that do all 3 of those things decently at that price point so I think you need to prioritise which functions matter more to you. In my experience, in that price range specifically, I would suggest
Logitech for video conferences
Skullcandy for music (specifically metal, other genres fare better on different headphones)
unfortunately for gaming you can't use a wireless headphone with a mic without audio quality taking a huge hit
