The concern here is them surreptitiously enabling the feature for all sorts of creepy stuff. Including, but certainly not limited to, ads, user tracking and the like.

If it were Google, sure. Apple doesn't sell ads, they're not an ad company.

They’re not but they do.

In fact, here is John Gruber’s skeptical take on Apple selling ads.

While they do claim to hold user privacy as high priority, there’s reason to be skeptical.
