You would think Apple would take the massive opportunity and bake in proper privacy and ad blocking to safari. Wouldn’t hurt their bottom line.

WebKit doesn't run on Windows so this doesn't matter to them.

You’re missing the point, WebKit not running on windows is exactly why this could be a good move for them. if they can do something better than what’s possible on windows they have a market advantage.

They'd rather people move to their platform and be locked in their ecosystem.

And this would be a way to make people want to do that.
