Rather than betting on conjecture you might do well to search for blog posts of security researchers that test these kinds of claims. Then you could have posted that instead of going on feelings.
Like this.
Lawsuit based on research by mysk not sure in the outcome of this though and whether the the claims that there is a difference between data collection for selling to data brokers vs data collection to improve the user experience. As I developer myself we will collect data to help us understand our software better and with no intention to do anything with it.
Another one appears to be about a flaw in how they anonymise data, specifically local differential privacy.
So it does appear that there are claims about opt-in, but I didn’t see anything concrete in my cursory look and I’m not afraid to post articles attacking my own point.
That's my point, I don't believe blogposts paint the whole picture.
