Why would you draw that conclusion unless you want to pigeon hole a complex position into a boolean strawman?
Do i support a users ability to opt out? Of course.
I could pose the same question to you: Do you support a users ability to opt out of Apples tracking in the same way they opt out of App tracking?
The App tracking guidelines mandate that multiple apps owned by the same developer still need to ask for permissions EVERY SINGLE TIME. Contrast that with Apple only asking for a soft share permission once during device setup and extending that across a wide swath of apps within a category like "Device analytics" which covers everything from what apps you're using, what networks you're connecting to, your use of the one device radios etc.
App tracking transparency also forces the big default button in the permission flow being the "Ask App Not to track" link. While, for their own permission requests, Apple has a big blue button that opts users in. This by itself causes an opt-in rate of <10% for external apps and near 90% for Apples internal dialogs. Lets place the same UX requirements for Apples own internal tracking dialogs please.
And we haven't even begun to discuss the undocumented services or APIs that have no permissions gating them. The "Find My" network? Do you know how Apple uses data of nearby devices? Isn't that EXACTLY what they're claiming to clamp down on from the likes of Google And FB cross device tracking while doing it themselves for a different end outcome seemingly justifying it?
