OP misconstrues an iOS tracking dialog to support their complaint:
> The strange thing is that Apple introduced strict measures in iOS 14.5 to prevent developers from fingerprinting users.
The dialog text in their screenshot reads:
> Allow “App” to track your activity across other companies’ apps and sites?
Users refusing this permission are not prohibiting tracking by the company that issued the dialog. They are prohibiting the company from tracking users beyond the boundary of their corporation. Apple’s App Store app is within the boundary of Apple Corporation, and so the tracking dialog shown is not relevant to their complaint.
(I have no viewpoint to offer on OP’s argument beyond the logical reasoning error described above.)
