Eye tracking is absolutely an accessibility feature. Just because you don't need it, and it can be abused, does not mean it isn't an absolutely game changing feature for some people.
He didn't say it wasn't an accessibility feature, just that it was disguised as one. Just because it's not a game changing feature for some people, doesn't mean its primary function isn't advertising.

The red color filter for outside when trying to preserve night vision is a great tip. Some apps have this built-in but much better to have the OS change it everywhere. Recommend creating a Shortcut to toggle this setting.
> Recommend creating a Shortcut to toggle this setting. Huh? It's not built-in? Android (or at least Moto) has it for years, auto enable on the schedule or the sunrise/sunset.

Every attention thief is absolutely thrilled at the idea of tracking your eyes. Let’s all imagine the day where the YouTube free tier pauses ads when you’re not actively looking at them. Shit. I’m turning into one of those negative downers. I’m sorry. I’ve had too much internet today.
If this is at all like the eye tracking in Vision Pro, it is only available to the OS and apps are not given access to the data.
Quibble but this isn't "eye tracking" it's "gaze tracking". Eye tracking is detecting where your eyes are. Gaze tracking is what you're looking at.
Well then it's both?
I love accessibility features because they might be the last features developed solely with the benefit of the user in mind. So many other app/os features are designed to steal your attention or gradually nerf usefulness.

System one is, but advertisers could always roll their own and see if they can get away with "you can only view this content if you give us permission to use your camera".

> Apps must respect the user’s permission settings and not attempt to manipulate, trick, or force people to consent to unnecessary data access. For example, apps that include the ability to post photos to a social network must not also require microphone access before allowing the user to upload photos.
Lots of iOS apps today really want to mine your address book, and constantly spam you with dialogs to enable it, but they don't go as far as disabling other features until you grant them access, because they'd get rejected once someone noticed.
