So Google's business model of having ads in the search results was problematic even before they started spying on the whole world to enable larger profits from targeted ads?
Just go into the Settings app and you'll see "get Apple Arcade for free 3 months" under your name, and a bright red badge telling you your "free iCloud storage is full" and pushing you to pay for more storage, despite you disabling iCloud storage and repeatedly trying to make the badge go away. Or maybe the home screen notifications that tell you your iCloud storage is full on your lock screen. Or the pushes that try to get you to sign up for AppleTV+. Those ads.
The search menu, all first party apps, app store, push notifications, even the settings pages all have ads, and the ad surface has been increasing with every update. The exact ad in this screenshot has been on iOS for many years. People who fail to acknowledge it or move the goal posts are heavily drinking the kool aid.
