I think the difference is that With this feature Apple is not asking for compliance but enforcing it. At least when it comes to the IDFA tracking. Fingerprinting might still be possible but its a start.

Users have always been able to disable IDFA tracking before iOS 14. It’s just that with iOS 14.5,

1. Technically, apps will have to prompt the users to enable it. 2. Policy-wise, Apple says that when disabled, apps should no longer track users. They can’t enforce this of course.
