Xiaomi phones support it in all regions. Think about it, a company famous for putting ads in system apps has the feature but "privacy conscious" Apple literally put in extra work to disable it everywhere it's not legally required.

Yet Apple is choosing not to enable it for everyone. It seems like it would be an easy and obvious privacy win, no?
