Seems like in general the iPhone was not designed to avoid fingerprinting from installed apps. Only protection would be avoid installing apps and use the web browser when possible.
These days many things don't work on browser. Even reddit is very difficult as we get constant nagging.

Damn. The "iPhone last setup or erased on ..." is really nasty. What can a user really do about that? I feel like this should be fudged somehow by the OS.

I built something similar, for the web. https://neberej.github.io/exposedbydefault/
Volume creation date is pretty egregious. I don't see any reason that and Pasteboard changeCount should be so granular. The "Installed Apps Probe" leak also surprised me. It is better than the current state of Android, though.
Pasteboard counter exists to help apps to not ask again about the same item in the buffer. And nothing stops from using reset it every day.
Apps like TikTok can know which username we logged in with, even if we uninstall and reinstall the app. This is egregious, as many companies like Facebook have SDKs embedded in many apps, allowing them to accurately interconnect user activity. Apple should be ashamed that they aren't putting effort to randomize these fingerprints....
