Worse is an interesting choice of words .... if a bunch of companies get shamed into respecting people's privacy then that's great, and if it gets the ball rolling and triggers the wrath of app stores ... that's even better.

Worse meaning that these two apps are only the tip of the iceberg. The privacy damage is worse than we expect.
If companies could get shamed into doing anything, the world would be a different place. But to a company there is no such thing as shame, there is only the fear that public reaction will negatively impact their bottom line.
