Apple cut the oxygen to Adtech business models.

iOS Apps have no way to identify user's devices, apps can only store two bits of info locally, DeviceCheck. Location while using the app option, hello Android? :)

Safari's ITP 2.0 clears tracking cookies in a way, that no tracking is longer possible. Adtech not happy.

And yet Apple restricts ad blockers... Same as Google.

It does not. I have Firefox Focus Content Blocker enabled in iOS Safari, and other Content Blocker apps for Mac Safari.

They have banned the use of VPN APIs to tunnel traffic through a filtering proxy. Apps such as AdGuard Pro used to use this to perform whole-device adblocking.
