I agree. The layperson may not know the ins and outs, but most people say they want privacy. Apple doing privacy things, marketing said things, and getting news coverage of said things does eventually filter down to the average person. So while few outside tech may really understand IDFA, all the privacy moves Apples makes in aggregate do make it out to the regular person.

Unfortunately, as you touch on, privacy is yet another thing that only people with money get to have.
