Haha. Why though? What's the point?
Out of the frying pan into the fire I guess.

Except for OP. Who seems to be hostile on purpose and doesn't look like he wants to have any help on the first place. Super weird dynamic.
Don't closed ones like 1Password also have audits? But I guess it's a personal philosophy.
Why are these the only real choices? What makes the others not real?
I personally don't derive any value from high quality conversations about topics I don't care about. That's why I need these millions of users, so that there are people I can talk with. About topics I care about. I'm willing to go on a limb here an say that your interests and mine don't fully align.
Not sure if you are joking or not. But at times that's actually what I think about and sometimes even do. If there is a car with too bright lights coming down the road I'll turn on the high beams because it reduces my ability to see the road otherwise.
That doesn't sound right. But then again, like someone else already said: If they aren't in the EU and don't have dealings with them (because they aren't large companies), who is going to enforce it?
I mean I guess it’s fine. It just doesn’t provide much value to me personally.
I think if this is what Lemmy is intended for it’s sad and will always a niche thing. I refuse to believe that this is what Lemmy is aiming for.
It’s all about content and diversity. Without a huge number of users you won’t get all these niche communities that one loves Reddit for.
Where is the active plant doctor community? Where are the folks from different professions weighting in with their opinion?
The Fediverse could exist with 5 users. But it would be boring. It just now crossed a threshold where one could hope that if becomes something.
Next problem is surge pricing and general ticket prices. I recall one city I was living in a few years back having advertisements for taking the train. And I was like “Yeah sure. It’s just double the price and triple the time”.
To me taking the train (at least for long distances) is a luxury thing.
That's not entirely how this works though. I mean you aren't wrong, but it's not fully automatic (anymore). At least as far as I know.
They can't necessarily association your phone with you if you don't choose to provide them with access to your tracking ID. That was the default in the past, but isn't anymore. Facebook was really really pissed about Apple making this a user choice.
Additional they can only track you within your browser if you signed in with a Meta/Facebook account on one of their services. But yes. If you do that every site that contains something from Facebook (Login with Facebook, a post, some other thingy from Facebook) will report back to Facebook that you've visited them.
This all being said: Facebook is the worst if it comes to this stuff.
Edit: we were talking about the Threads so here right? You are totally correct if over just used the browser or a PC.
