another important aspect is webapps also cannot communicate with native apps without you noticing it, while native apps can communicate with each other freely, entirely in the background. if you somehow block internet access to an app that includes google tracking libraries or those of another data broker company, it can just send the data it collected to another app with the same libraries that can still access the internet.
