That's not the point.

Those personalized ads may be very useful, but they require extremely invasive tracking that the user does not necessarily consent to. On desktop I can use uBlock Origin and Firefox to block as much tracking as possibile, on mobile the Facebook SDK is embedded everywhere and it's very difficult to escape from it.

If there was a way to opt out of tracking I would have no problems with Facebook, I don't even use it. I hope this iOS change will come to Android too.
