This may open up a lot of inhouse development in places. Before, you had to have these limited developer licenses and bless devices to be able to install beta apps and a lot of places did this for internal only apps. That’s revenue to Apple just on the developer license and doing nothing else besides a webpage being maintained to hold all these profiles and stuff. And you were limited to the amount of devices you could use the beta software on.
But, now, at least in the UK, you could see that cumbersome step removed and that means it may be worthwhile. Suddenly using an iPad for an internal only tool on a large scale is a possibility.
Apps have worse ability to track you than a browser, not better.
no possibility of using third party cookies
no possibility to fingerprint you using what modifications your extensions do to the DOM
The only extra information they get about you is a consistent but unique (as in not possible to correlate) identifier, meaning they know its the same device accessing the app that it was the other day as well. But they often know this from IP on the web anyway, and since it can’t be correlated, it doesn’t tell them much.

Friend, sure ;)
Who would want a porn app that has more permissions to track everything you do?
This is this weirdest one for me
