Does this affect Apple's ability to track its users?

Not really. But Apple doesn’t use its data to sell you ads.
Wait! They actually do. Apple allows targeting ads in the App Store by things that require data collection.
So, a better answer might be “not right now” because no one is forcing it to play by its own rules.

AFAIK Apple's ad targeting is largely based on self-reported stuff like demographic information and what you're subscribed to in Apple News or Music. It's not doing the kind of massive log-ingestion and cross-site tracking to do psychographic profiling that people tend to find most problematic.

Apple’s App Store ads are keyword-based not based on user behavior.

No, but that has already been opt-in for years.

For selling your data to third-parties? No.
