This is such a weird comment to read on hackernews. I miss the product/new app oriented community that HN once was.

I don't think it's that weird, a lot of us are especially concerned with privacy and security.
It's not genuine concern, in this case. If someone were interested in privacy, they would be better at understanding when a paid SaaS has boilerplate in their privacy policy and why they might use analytics.
You shouldn't have boilerplate in a policy. It's easy enough to find a dozen sites (Shopify, termly.io, etc.) that will generate a tailored policy for you based on your intentions.
Indeed. I typically point companies to the aptly named https://www.privacypolicies.com which I’ve found to be configurable enough for most. There are productized legal consultations available, too.

As someone who also understands the challenges of guiding a business through implementing finely tailored privacy policies, you’re in a position to read between the lines and empathize when you a see a business that collects and uses data more minimally than their policy claims.

Product Hunt dot com is the place to be if you want all smiles, back-patting and no awkward questions.

These are the forbidden realms where one can have the temerity to task "why would anyone use this over rsync?"

It is weird that you think even hn user should not be the group to be privacy oriented. I definitely don't prefer that future.
