Wouldn't actual data privacy laws stop this all the same? I can't help but feel this weird song and dance avoiding the privacy argument exists so US companies don't get in the crossfire for doing the same shit with your data.

No way in hell they'd ever argue data privacy.

That's only for apple to pretend to care about while selling your data to brokers.

Sorry Apple is selling user data to data brokers now?

I think I was mistaken on that point. They're not publicly doing that - just selling ads.
