Can we just frikkin ban tracking completely and just see how that goes?

I do not really care if some businesses can no longer make money in the way they like to. I’m sure they’ll figure it out if they have to. Businesses existed for a loooooong time without tracking their customers. I’m sure they can do it again.

If governments would just ban the bad shiat app vendors do that Apple tries to curb, that’d be great, as it’d remove the main reason I have little practical choice but to use Apple devices.
