I think Google is being reasonably transparent here:

- When this was introduced, Google asked my if I permit using those topics. I declined and now in the settings the toggle is switched off, just as it should be.

- Your topics will be listed when you open the ad settings.

- Instead of disallowing topics, you can also block individual topics.

If you count the dark pattern of "we've improved privacy, got it" while having all ad-related toggled on is not "reasonable transparent"
