You realize that Apple is ad company too, right? Just like every other shitty tech company these days. Apple generated $5 billion in ad revenue in 2022.
From the app store ads mainly. Omitting this fact is dishonest at best.

I think they are requiring apps on their store use ads provided by their store as well though.
This is not true.

They are not, as far as I can tell (as someone who is breaking this rule were it to exist)
They are not. For example Unity has their own ad network for Unity made games to use (even on Apple devices).

How much was from outside the app store?
I think $5b is a gross underestimate.

This "bug" is in Safari/Webkit too, stop it with the conspiracy theory.
