Lol guess so. So it really strips that stuff away?

Yeah, like pretty much all platforms on the fediverse, they're not owned by large companies, and don't try ads or selling user data for profit

Do you know if there are plans for an iOS app? I only see one or two third-party apps. Are they any good?

There have been testflights (Apple betas) for the pixelfed app, so it's in development. Unsure about the quality of 3rd party apps though
