To spell this out in the most granular way:

  • Apple allows FB to (ab)use `WKWebView` for an anti-user, pro-tracking in-app browser system
  • FB uses this system to bypass both browser choice *as well as* any ad or tracker blocking you might have enabled within Safari
  • Apple hold's FB's coat while it allows this situation to proliferate, one app at a time, while ignoring the impact of two-sided tracking (scripts in pages + host URLs).

Apple is Zucking you. No doubt about it.
