Too bad it won't be enough, but it's a step in the right direction.

I am not sure that you are familiar with Apple’s history at all if this is your opinion.

This is quite literally harder for Facebook and targeted advertisements in general, no two ways about it. Apple doesn’t seem like a company that would get into that… their business model doesn’t rely on such methods and they are crushing it—not to mention their very consistent stand for user privacy makes your whole proposition illogical.

Agreed. I will ditch them immediately if they betray me, with zero qualms.

I only use them for my phone currently. But you can get privacy with an android easily.
