I'm not so optimistic.
How many people among Apple's users actually understand how evil this is, and among those, how many do really, actually care? People seem fine enough with Facebook's data vacuuming, why would they protest against Apple's "non-intrusive" scheme? They "don't hate children" and, of course, "have nothing to hide".
The issue, as has been brought up in one form or another in the numerous threads on the subject, is that people like their comfort (using smartphones) and there really isn't that much of a choice.

And therein lies the rub. Many people wouldn't find doing this fun. They'd much prefer being able to watch Netflix in ultra high-def and not having to futz around with Nvidia's drivers or what have you.
