Everything you say is good and true. Unfortunately, the trust has been broken, and now everyone loses. The onus is on the people doing the “good” tracking to prove that they’re deserving. “This is why we can’t have nice things.”

Or, more realistically, the tracking will move to the browser, and since the dominant force in online advertising is also the dominant force in the browser market, they’ll continue to dig their most and track us all.
