I wonder how big the hit is from paid app installs via facebook ads. This is a much bigger market than a lot of people understand, and it's nontrivial to track conversions unless you have that mobile app ID.

That's true, and it probably is. Or at the very least, Apple knows that app installs are still in demand and greatly helps the ecosystem.
as well as Google
