"regulate" doesn't sound like the correct word in this instance. It's making the process more transparent - all Apple did was ensure users could choose what Facebook does with their data.

Apple's ad system is subject to the same rules. The link you are posting is outdated - since last year's iOS 14.5 the SKAdNetwork has been extended to provide the full API.

This does not appear to be true, given that they were asked this question by the FT and refused to answer.

See: https://www.ft.com/content/074b881f-a931-4986-888e-2ac53e286...

Money quote (which to be fair, was not too an FT journalist):

“Apple was unable to validate for us that Apple’s solutions are compliant with Apple’s policy,” he said. “Despite multiple requests and trying to get them to confirm that their products are compliant with their own solutions, we were unable to get there.”
