What amuses me is that all Apple is doing here is putting up a dialog asking if the user wants to be tracked. And Facebook knows just how much users hate being tracked, so they are avoiding the API that results in the dialog.
Yet their rhetoric is "tracking is great and people love it! they're going to be so sad once tracking is gone!"

Facebook's post doesn't mention the impact on/reaction from the end users at all. My interpretation of all this is that no reasonable user would consent to the tracking anyway and the marginal benefit of users who do consent is outweighed by users who are creeped out and decline the tracking.
