Wouldn't actual data privacy laws stop this all the same? I can't help but feel this weird song and dance avoiding the privacy argument exists so US companies don't get in the crossfire for doing the same shit with your data.

No way in hell they'd ever argue data privacy.

That's only for apple to pretend to care about while selling your data to brokers.

Sorry Apple is selling user data to data brokers now?

Yeah. They do have their own data collection practices and privacy policies. IIRC, meta was crying over Apple implementing permission data for apps since it would allow people to back off from meta but Apple would be sole winner from that move.
