No apple is actually leaving their IDFA use on by default while turning other app’s idfa to default off.

That's perfect, I don't want my data to go somewhere I don't control and Apple already knows enough that it makes literally no difference but helps support indie developers as I'll be more likely to buy someone's app from a well-targeted add shown in App Store.
Those complaining it’s on by default are forgetting that exposing ad tracking as a setting that can be turned off is already a leap forward compared to shady practices across advertisement industry.
It’s a numbers game.

On by default -> financially the same as always on

Off by default -> financially doesn’t exist

You're forgetting

Not even exposed in the UI -> no one would ever complain about it
