This is in my opinion a symptom that cannot realistically be treated. The "disease" that need treatment is the power big markets have in the world and this is nothing new. The only New in this is that the US (state and businesses) aren't setting the agenda 100% of the time anymore. While this system of tracking is clearly A Bad Thing I'm not so sure the dilution of US control here is bad. So far I'm actually convinced this is an extremely good thing for the world on average. Maybe not for America but its time as top dog alone at the peak of power is almost at an end anyway.
In other words this is just a new player that want what Apple (and others) have granted US tech industry for decades. If they want to shut the door now they will likely be shut out of China, which I fully understand from their perspective. What is needed is a way to secure users from tracking at a much lower level and I doubt Apple will ever trade money/income for user privacy. If they did I would buy my first iPhone.
