Re: This is nice, but
The answer is, most of them don't give a fuck.
If that was true, Facebook wouldn't be in abject fear over Apple making users OK tracking when iOS 14.5 lands. They'd all just say "yes" and Facebook would go happily on their way. They know that the overwhelming majority of people will say "no" when given a choice - the fact that there is so much tracking today is because 1) people can't avoid it without a lot more knowledge/effort than the average person can put forth...even a lot of Reg readers think it is too much hassle to do stuff like disabling all scripts or whatever 2) people don't know how much tracking there is.
When the option is put in people's face, they will say no because they aren't getting anything of value in exchange for it. If Facebook said "we'll give you $5 a month if you let us track you" then I'm sure most people would OK it (not sure if a "bribe" like that would be allowed under Apple's rules, but it would be interesting to see what the price point for the average person was)
