Regardless of its categorization, it also seems like accepting revenue from Facebook ads would be the antithesis of Apple’s stance towards customer privacy.

Why? This is about buying ads, not ad revenue. For example, you can pay Facebook so that a picture you took shows up in other people's feeds on Instagram as 'Sponsored'. Question is, is Apple getting their 30% cut from the money you pay Facebook for that?

If they take a cut of purchases but not ads, doesn't that incentivize the ad supported model vs the paid model? And wouldn't creating such a system of incentives also run against Apple's stance towards customer privacy?
