It’s really not. I develop mobile apps for clients and we collect analytics (Firebase/GAnalytics, Facebook SDK, hand rolled metrics etc) none of which is opt in. Why is Microsoft held to a different standard?

With regard to Apple or Google recording the applications users install from the store I think there is indeed an opt in.

That is the comparison I was making with the new Windows package manager.

Ignorantia juris non excusat. You or your clients may also be in breach. MS aren't held to a different standard.
