I think it's pretty clear that if you're not paying for the application, then you're the product not the customer. Even the most ignorant users have probably got that message by now.

If the app is paid-for, it's less forgivable to be using this kind of spyware.

Your flawed logic applies whether it's paid or not: just don't install it.

Apparently you don't think actually knowing if the app includes the SDK is relevant, this is victim blaming of the highest tier.

Spotify is a paid app that includes it.
