For those towing the line of "small business will be destroyed": businesses are there to make profit but they have to serve their consumers if they want to continue making those profits which also means taking the privacy of the consumers seriously.
As a consumer, if I don't like the privacy-invading practices a "small business" is supporting (directly or via Facebook), I have the right to know about it and deny such practices (atleast on a device I own, which Apple plans to enable in this case). Businesses do not live in a vacuum and if they don't fit in the ecosystem by ignoring their consumers' privacy needs, it should be ok for them to go extinct so that those who follow a more "well adjusted" approach can evolve and thrive.
