Apple has no commercial interest in breaking the users privacy and trust. Their business model is not to sell ads or work with 3rd party advertisers.

Apple sells ads. https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/data/en/apple-advertisin...

They track the stories you read on News & Stocks, and track your location to give you personalized ads.

This integrates with Google Ad Manager 360 as well. They work with 3rd parties. https://support.apple.com/guide/adguide/integrate-workbench-...

Latest moves seem to imply Apple might want a slice of the Ad network pie. So I wouldn't bet on capitalistic ideals/incentives not overtaking idealistic consumer protections.
