I have raised the issue of trackers in analytics SDKs on developer forums and the result has invariably been negative towards me.

When speaking to friends and coworkers about these issues, the result is mostly people calling me paranoid.

Developers mostly don't care as long as they get money.

Users mostly don't care as long as they get cheap apps.

As a developer who does not use third party SDKs that track users (other than the OS) because I value my user's privacy and realize that many of my users are in places where data is expensive and scarce, I sometimes feel like I an engaging in a futile and unwanted effort.
