Why do you consider some data your browser provides as private and some others not? Not saying I disagree, but hardliners could say they don't want what the browser provides in any way as tracked. Saying this app is hypocritical because they support a different notion of privacy is akin to saying your comment is hypocritical because you say you're against being tracked at all, then talk about tracking browsers via web server logs.

I think we need to recognize privacy as a spectrum and applaud self-hosted alternatives to traditional saas services even if they don't conform to your notion of tracking.

Browsers send too much information on their own, and they shouldn't. But there is still a huge difference between analyzing access logs and tracking users. When you actively track users you build complete profiles of people with any kind of information. Access logs do not go nearly as far, they're mostly limited to IP address, a few info about browser/OS type, and sometimes a referrer; most of which are easy to spoof.
