And I think most users will see no problem with this.
If I value the service enough, I'll pay for it. That Apple gets 30% is another discussion and as a user, not my problem.
If I don't value the service that much, I now get to be informed and can decide whether I value using it more than my privacy. Facebook's all out propaganda campaign shows which choice they think most users will make in this instance.

I don't know the exact numbers, but I think I've heard monthly revenue from tracking is less than a cent per user. Now imagine they charge $1 monthly for their app subscription. Hell, even a couple of cents would be an improvement. Or even better: they charge a one-time payment to buy the app.
