Yes, but if the concern is not mixing business and personal compartment of the phone, business sites would hopefully not embed a Meta tracking pixel.

Definitely, and that's a huge problem. I just don't think Android business profiles are a particular concern here; leaking app state to random websites in any profile is the problem.

Or do Android "business profiles" also include browser sessions? Then this would be indeed a cross-compartment leak. I'm not too familiar with Android's compartment model; iOS unfortunately doesn't offer sandboxing between environments that way.
