Then have worse product for the users?

Homebrew was fine before they started collecting analytics. There are plenty of great package managers outside the macOS ecosystem that don't use analytics.

So, just because you werent affected then no one was?

Yes, you don't get to decide to violate your users' rights and surveil them because you think it will improve your product.

1 it is their choice what soft they use, isnt it? Its not like chromium on android being pushed on you

2 there is "reasonable" / "good faith" data that in my opinion can be sent e.g crash log, stats like e.g package popularity etc.

You just create drama over nothing.

Ive used data like this to improve my soft countless times and there is nothing shady at all, everything is about what you collect.

Theres difference between keylogger or stealing nudes and tech data

> it is their choice what soft they use, isnt it

Yes. More evidence for an observation I've been having that ultimately the software is always about what the creator of the software wants, and not the user. I'm working on moving to running only my own software for that reason.
