You realize that Apple is ad company too, right? Just like every other shitty tech company these days. Apple generated $5 billion in ad revenue in 2022.

From the app store ads mainly. Omitting this fact is dishonest at best.

They are not. For example Unity has their own ad network for Unity made games to use (even on Apple devices).

They are not, as far as I can tell (as someone who is breaking this rule were it to exist)

This is not true.

I think $5b is a gross underestimate.
