Political ads are one of the main reasons that people hate online ads and targeting techniques. Ad-platforms are ruining their own platform by allowing these kind of ads into their platform.
If you show an Android ad to an Apple fan, he is not going to hate it. But, political views are very different and political ads usually target people differently. It's a sensitive topic, and there have been many instances of abusing users by political ads.
Many of internet users were fine with targeted ads. Some users even preferred to see relevant ads instead of random ones, until a few years ago that everyone saw too many abuses from political ads and user tracking.
I think platforms like Facebook should blame themselves for making internet users too sensitive about ads instead of blaming Apple for providing privacy focused features that are asked by users.
