You’re believing in the tooth fairy. We live in corporatism as a political system, with a nearly complete regulatory capture. As a consumer, you are completely screwed. So do not use proprietary services and products. If you call this corporate sympathizing I wonder what you’d call corporate criticism.
The logic is just silly. They know exactly why: telemetry is a first class feature in just about any digital consumer based product. We live in a culture defined by consumerism. Social class is defined by what you can consume. Success is defined by your ability to consume more. You gotta have the fancy car, the nice shoes, the biggest house and the best suit.
Caring about telemetry, what information can be inferred from what data, and what information poses what risks in which entities hands… that line of thinking isn’t popular. Blindly consuming is popular. Showing off your cool new watch is popular.
The result is that Samsung has health data. This is right in our faces. There are no secrets, no hard puzzles, nothing of that sort. Seeds planted, and now people wonder why they have a bean staulk? Golly.
Indirect corporate sympathizing is what this is.
Blame consumers for the abuse and malpractice of corporations who SHOULD be publicly regulated.
This viewpoint encourages their practices by peddling the same logic these corporations use to continue justifying their practices.
