Like you I'm very frustrated by how little choice we are being given in the matter, but you have to admit that SOME (perhaps very few) applications that collect our data have been amazingly useful. Mostly they have been made by Google; Search and Maps. Could they have made these and distributed them for "free" without tracking? Probably not. What I would like is to be able to opt out, and instead pay for the app. I wonder, though, how expensive would Maps really be if we all had to pay for it instead of being tracked and advertised to? I think I have a lot more to say on the subject, but I'll keep it short for now.
