Let's not forget that it also gives Apple's own App Store advertising a significant advantage, since they still have the ability to correlate ads with app installs.

For Apple it's a win-win. Public gets more privacy and Apple nets a few billion dollars more in revenue in addition to anything additional generated by goodwill.

AFAIK, targeted advertising is different than tracking ad to install information, and since it's all Apple there's no third-party sharing required.
