Maybe this will motivate product owners, developers, marketers, to start thinking before implementing a dozen of SDKs in a mobile app (or website). It's understandable when you need some analytics/crash reporting, but it becomes a privacy and ethics question when a lot of data is wandering around, and even better, crashes your app. And the users will blame you, they don't even know how many SDKs are there and what they are doing.

Rightfully so. If you add an SDK to you app, it's your fault if the SDK causes your app to crash.
