Mostly as Chris said. Plus I'm not really keen on tech companies
whimsically disobeying national laws (even though in this case the law
is absolutely fucking stupid).

Completely different situation tech-wise and legally.

Yes.

Also the point that almost no-one *used* ADP since it's not a default is
illuminating... if you didn't have it enabled already, why freak out
that it's no longer allowed?

I do roll my eyes when "Apple is legally required to disable optional
feature that few use" gets so many headlines and handwringing, when
"Google is already actively violating privacy laws and sells all your
usage data" doesn't.
