Here's a better analogy using the coffee shop:

You walk into your favorite coffee shop, order your favorite coffee, every day. But because of privacy reasons the coffeeshop owner is unaware of anything. Doesn't even track inventory, just orders whatever whenever.

One day you walk in and now you can't get your favorite coffee... Because the owner decided to remove that item from the menu. You get mad, "Where's my favorite coffee?" the barista says "owner removed it from menu" and you get even more upset "Why? Don't you know I come in here every day and order the same thing?!"

Nope, because you don't want any amount of tracking whatesoever, knowing any type of habits from visitors is wrong!

But in this scenario you deem the owner knowing that you order that coffee every day ensures that it never leaves the menu, so you actually do like tracking.
