This wouldn’t help much unfortunately. The company could just setup a proxy server to do the work that lives under their domain. A company like segment (which routes analytics to other platforms) could then offer personalized domains and make a killing as everyone throws everything there.

But there probably is some sort of good similar solution based on guidelines. If apple were to start defining policies on data collection and opt outs and say that apps needed to follow them or be rejected it would put a lot of pressure companies like Facebook to adhere to these guidelines in their sdks.

I don’t know if apple has the appetite for this as it would cause a whole lot of rewriting of a whole lot of code but they are in a great position to do this.
