Facebook, etc hate Apple’s privacy policies, but the iPhone market is too big and too rich to ignore. If now they can tap the iPhone market without having to deal with Apple’s privacy requirements, I am sure they would be delighted. Soon, they would at least have more features in the side-loaded version to try to push people towards it. The companies like Epic and Facebook would have saved money by this move, but I as a privacy minded consumer, would have lost.
