That is rather contrary to what Apple’s own blurb in “Safari & Privacy” says. If the paragraph is obsolete, it would have been a good idea to update it when they added Tencent. Or are they giving themselves leeway to flip a switch later?

I saw these screens in two games and figured they were too similar to be a coincidence. So Apple gave boilerplate code to all Arcade developers and not only does it produce the worst sync UI ever made, it doesn’t even work well.
