For me it's not that I don't care, but I reason the data stealing as their form of payment for providing a free useful service to me. I try to limit the data I give them, but I still see the data gathering as their win in our nonzero (win win) game.

In this case, they could very well be transparent about it, and comply with local laws/regulations (such as the GDPR).

When companies comply (or Apple forces them to - like with App Tracking Transparency), it's clear that the majority of people do not consider this a fair deal and opt-out.

Yep that's fair.
