This whole thing is about trade-offs. If tracking companies cannot use cookies they can use JS and local storage instead. Then they can keep tracking people for long periods. So, in the escalating war Apple alters local storage so that non-use for more than 7 days doesn't keep data along. It becomes less valuable for use with tracking. The trade-off is that offline web apps become less capable and some use cases go away (e.g., completely offline). Which trade-off is better for whom and in general? I've not thought to know. But, the trade-off is worth pondering. Whether we agree with Apple or not.
