Apple is not a privacy-first company.

They are a company-company that wants to make money.

They’re looking for increased places to make money, and right now that’s ads. They implemented “ask app not to track” to make themselves more appealing whilst driving out ads competition. Which, again, is good for the consumer but let’s not fool ourselves that it’s altruistic.

Now that they’re getting more into ads, get ready for them to hit all the same problems that other ads driven companies have had to deal with.

Whether or not that’s true isn’t really that relevant to the topic, though, which is about categories of ads and how they are placed along other apps. That seems to have much more to do with what the advertisers try to do, and what Apple doesn’t disallow.
