The embedded advertising is is designed to be a single point of data that resets on its own so that advertisers can only use it for fingerprinting. It’s a thin line to protect privacy without scaring away the whole industry and dear god, the Android situation is much, much worse.

The android situation is much worse, yes, but apple is still giving in to surveillance capitalism and nothing they do short of staying away from it can be regarded as a "privacy protection". Their advertising ID endorses surveillance, it does not protect you from it.
