Can envision this turning into “let us track you for free access” or pay some sort of monthly subscription for denied tracking + access. If socially engineered in just the right way, would not be surprised if majority of people would allow this.

Now I wonder if this goes against an App Store policy somewhere or if this is one way Apple will combat such an attempt.

That's exactly what it already is and we're past the point where ignorance is an acceptable excuse.

One of the huge problems at the moments is that it tracks you even if you don’t use it. We’ve never been at “let us track you for free access”, we jumped directly to “we track you and you can’t do a thing to avoid it”.

As despicable as Facebook’s behaviour is as far as its users are concerned, at least one could claim that there is an implicit contract (I am sure everything is explained clearly in 2pt white font on a white background on a page that’s not linked to and not indexed by Google). There is no such excuse for non-users who are tracked all the same.

Fair and true points. Hopefully, at some point in the near future, we'll see some accountability for this abhorrent behaviour.
