Ok, I’ll let the homebrew maintainers that you don’t fund and never will that they just need to launch expensive, labour and time intensive opt-in studies of user behavior modeled after totally comparable clinical trials to understand how the system you’re utilizing for free is used in the real world!

Thanks, this has been super useful. I’m sure the maintainers will be relived.

Why is simply asking permission controversial?

If the implication is that what you’re doing would be rejected by 99,9% of users if they were asked, then you should reconsider either what you’re doing, or how you’re presenting it to them.

Opt-in can boil down to a simple non defaulted choice during installation.
