I'm don't think I've ever considered MCA a great philosopher, and after reading that self-contradicting quote the outlook for that to change is still murky. Plainly: being a hypocrite is about doing in opposition to what you preach, it's unrelated to changing your mind.
It's strange too that you go back to 2005, what with the iphone was out only by 2007 and the IDFA launched in 2013. Incidentally, IDFA was create as a way to limit the methods advertisers could use to track users, even as it expanded the pool of users tracked. And in 2013 the idea that digital tracking, as supplied by for example apple, could be bad was certainly not groundbreaking.
