I love this. Apple is one of the only companies (alongside perhaps Mozilla) with the brand muscle to get away with shooing third-party vultures away from a user's implicit information, like the new protections against inferring your location through IP addresses, the option to share your location only once, and enforcing other restrictions like requiring "Sign In With Apple" on all apps that offer Facebook/Google sign-in.

Some developers may balk at giving up all that tasty data, but as a user, this is GREAT.
Regardless of how you feel about Apple on the whole, who else do you think can afford to put their foot down against predatory practices in favor of the user?
