I don't necessarily think this is true. Advertisers want to be able to attribute revenue to the types of ads that they show, that way they can spend less money on advertising and focus it on the channels which actually work for them. Cookies are the best way of attributing online ads to online sales.

TL;DR they want effective attribution, not to wreck your browsing experience.

The features in Safari only harms the smaller companies who's domain is not in the visited sites list. the behemoths like Google who always have a first party cookie dont have a problem with the feature and therefore get even more control over online advertising.

A couple of those are not the same. When it happens by genuine accident it is not the same as vandalism.

Reading more into this point in the post than i maybe should but "Take advantage of our expertise operating MySQL." sounds like they have more engineers familiar and comfortable working with MySQL than they are with Redis.
