As disgusting as Apple’s ads to sell sell Apple Fitness + all over the OS or Google’s pops on Firefox all over their products to install Chrome.

I haven't had a single ad on any of my Apple stuff other than a free trial of apple news for 3 months which I declined and was never asked again. Where are you seeing that?

Me neither, and I even use the built in health app sometimes, which is the logical place to put an add for their fitness service.
