What I love about this move is that it's a double edged sword against google. ether google have to

1. cannibalize their main source of revenue and implement similar feature on Android and thus becoming a weaker competitor.

2. don't follow apple and let apple eat more of the smartphone market of people who worry about their privacy.

Apple doesn't make money from Ads, so it's strange that they waited this long to do this.
