You are technically correct, but one shouldn't have to be In The Know to avoid this stuff. Computers should not be privacy-adversarial by default.

This is the same mindset that shames people for their “unhealthy food choices” when the most widely available, widely affordable, and widely advertised food is sugary corn slop.

I've always found it funny how is Android being better at blocking Google requests than iOS is. You'd think Apple wouldn't be so willing to sell out their users for a sketchy default, but apparently a captive userbase doesn't have much say in the matter anyways.
