But why would these be network calls that block the UI?

Analytics calls don't generally block the UI. Must be the call the fetch the string. Or incompetence.
It has to track what the user does. Logging what they did previously is slightly more complicated. I imagine using the resources to do something "useful" with the data has priority.
But the call doesn't have to "block" - the UI could proceed without waiting for the result of the call.
Prevent the user from blocking the tracking?
