This is coming from an Apple antagonist, but don't the Apple OSs have adblocking at a system level (implying Safari)? This does vindicate Apple (but doesn't help in the other legitimate scenarios that this API is needed, which I have been told do exist).

No, content blockers are specific to Safari. Third party apps can show ads just fine.

It's easy to install system level ad-blocking in MacOS and iOS.
