Most of you won't read the past the headline but this isn't accurate

>The agency said there is an "asymmetry" in which user consent for Apple's own data collection is obtained with a single pop-up, but other publishers are "required to obtain double consent from users for tracking on third-party sites and applications." The press release notes that "while advertising tracking only needs to be refused once, the user must always confirm their consent a second time."

They take issue with Apple making it easier for their apps but applying a different standard for third parties. I think this fine is fair.

Is Apples third party though? I don’t know, genuinely asking.

If no, then first party vs third party having different standards of consent seems reasonable?
