I don't pay enough attention to comment on Apple, but of course I assume Google is lying; they're an adtech company trying to ship something that would make it trivial to break all adblockers. Why would you ever trust them?
Because it is functionality they really need for other (legit!) reasons, and since trying to turn it into an anti-adblock technology would be a PR and regulatory nightmare, and make it harder to ship for the uses they actually need it for.
Lying tends to be stupid, especially for a company under so much scrutiny.
