Ethical considerations are a significant factor in my SaaS (and stack) selections, and seem to have been entirely omitted from these analyses. If it helps guide your content direction any, I give a great many shits about a) user privacy (super relevant to analytics), and b) socially responsible investment (again, but for capital holding) and so forth.
It tends to be a binary consideration. For example, I said no to React; not because viable alternatives exist, but ruled out of contention entirely because the vendor is the Philip Morris of tech.
Just as the rag trade can get by with excluding sweatshops from their supply chain, I think it’s incumbent on those of us privileged enough to be able to start/run a tech company to navigate our preferences as much by a moral compass as any other. So I’d value the opportunity to make better informed decisions in that dimension.
