This is the case for "auction" based ad platform, I don't see how there is anyway to ever police this especially when they run the auction and have full view of all bids, essentially letting them perfectly price discriminate. Where are customers gonna go? Bing?
This and all the dark patterns to nudge the user to turn on "ad optimizations" without explaining what it does, anyone who has dabbled in google ads can surely attest
