I imagine they have such prompts and opt outs as minimally required by local regulations, but the problem of consent still exists. Most users have no idea what cookies or behavioural advertising are and therefore can't give informed consent. It's a hard problem because policymakers (including Apple) are put into a position of making the decision for large groups of people. However, those policymakers have their own interests. Through a series of court cases and legislation, it's been decided that copyright and content moderation policies are okay to bury in ToS style documents but large parts of privacy policies aren't. I don't enjoy this status quo but it's hard to come up with a politically viable alternative.
