It's been a while but I remember going out of the way to strip all the JS surrounding both Like and Share buttons for Facebook. It was trivial to implement at the time. I did it because I didn't like being tracked and didn't want to inflict that on the users either. However, I had to fight for it. PM wanted the share count & page like count to show up. That can't be done without FB JS code. There's also the advertising trackers that track every aspect of your website's users. These are usually added as is and for a variety of reasons - measure conversion, tag a user as converted to not show them ads anymore, retargeting...etc. Good luck convincing your marketing team to not add any of these trackers.
