The intended “protection” is the ToS, which requires apps to disclose what they are tracking and whether they perform cross-premise tracking.

Often it's not the app itself doing tracking or cross-premise tracking, but data is passed to installed third party SDKs that do.

Ah, that’s funny. Too bad those privacy nutrition labels are only honor system.

They give that one completely up to businesses, then, to devs. They also thought they should let an app maker prohibit screen recording, which might promote development since it protects revenue of e.g. subtitling apps as one example. But end result is you even end up with a black screen when recording the iPhone Mirroring app from a Mac.

Apple owes us a better balance here. iCloud Private Relay for all apps (why only Safari?! and Mail and HTTP) as a start, and plugging some of the privacy holes Loupe exposes. They don’t want us abusing free trials I suppose.
