That is what they're supposed to do.
But you're talking about an operating environment way outside of what they were designed for.
ICE cars suck.
But cars aren't driving around the road and spewing out CO in such concentration that'd they'd give someone CO poisoning.
Pick a different example about why ICE cars clearly suck.
Look, I hate ICE cars too.
But this is whack. Putting a running car into a garage is dangerous because the free oxygen becomes depleted and it starts producing carbon monoxide as a result. This isn't a problem when you're driving around outdoors.
The reason the a running ICE car in a garage is dangerous is completely different than why ICE cars are bad for the environment.
Like, shit on ICE cars all you want, I'll support it. But this is embarrassingly bad science. This is the kind of shit I'd have made up in grade 7 trying to an edgy eco-aware statement.
Cars don't typically produce carbon monoxide. It's special circumstances caused by the garage that caused the carbon monoxide
I doubt it.
The kind of data used for "wrapped" type summaries are usually the kind of data that users want to be tracked because it powers features they want.
Like Spotify wrapped is based of Spotify play history, and being able to see your recently played songs is a feature people want.
Duolingo wrapped is based on lesson progress, and it has to track your progress else it doesn't know what lesson you're doing.
idk what other apps do this, it's pretty rare for me, but afaict it's all just normal stuff.
Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of privacy problems that apps try to fuck with, but I don't think that yearly wrapped is likely to be one of them.
They need that assigned to specific use accounts so that people can look at their play history. A thing that people often want to do with their music players.
But "wrapped" type things aren't using button press telemetry. They're using data that the user wants access to anyways, like their Spotify play history, or Duolingo lesson progress.
It doesn't even make sense to anonymize that data because people want to see their play history, not what was popular last week.
I kinda get what you mean, in that sense. "It's bad here so why can't you believe it's bad there?"
But the dangers they pose are so different in nature that it's inviting criticism; lots of things are dangerous in specific circumstances but fine normally.
Anyways, you're taking the criticism better than I'm able to lol
