You’ll end up getting a lot of ads for apps and services you potentially already own, which is the “downside”.
FWIW: Worked in mobile ad tech for five years so I know this space.

I usually get product recs from things like Wirecutter. I much prefer the model where a site I trust recommends a product, then get a referral bonus when I buy it on Amazon than tracking my web history to "nudge" me. Since iOS can't let me use extensions, many of the tools I use to protect my privacy (adblocker, JS whitelisting, etc) aren't doable on iOS. So even small hacks like this are interesting to me.
