We know Facebook uses data they gather for competitive product reasons. I wonder how important Facebook’s insight into signup and login auth for upstart products (like TikTok or fortnite) was for internal intelligence on where the wind is blowing / compete / acquire targets.

FB SSO isn’t really an option for an early stage consumer product, but if it were I can see Potential benefits to the products that are succeeding avoiding sharing real-time success metrics with FB.

Presumably, Apple is also influenced by data like this via the App Store.

For example Apple probably pays attention to Autosleep and other sleeping apps in deciding to build it into WatchOS.
