"As you might expect, developers love this new feature—anything that can provide them with more information regarding how users are interacting with their apps

"As you might expect, developers love this new feature—anything that can provide them with more information regarding how users are interacting with their apps is a positive." Here I am deliberately designing apps that track no user interaction data at all. Maybe that's why Google doesn't even list my app even though it's one of the longest running "web apps" alive and used to be listed #1 when it first came out. Now they have more ads for similar apps than search results on a search results page.

This API isn't equivalent with tracking. You can use this state entirely in the browser, without sending / storing the user behavior anywhere.

  Zoho is a fine app, but it's described as such "Zoho CRM is an online Sales CRM software that manages your sales,.." That's not what ezInvoice does. There is a lot of crossover in the features we offer, but they're not really the same. As to keeping up, the ezInvoice app is a Cloud app, and it's also a "Single Page", Offline-First, and Local-First app, so you're either missing that or ignoring it. >> Is your hypothesis that Google would have some incentive that you collect user interaction data? Why would that be? Goggle is in the business of collecting as much data on users as they can, and that includes the users of the products advertised on their platform and those companies that place them. They offer services specifically for that purpose and as far as I know Google sells data to other corporations. https://cloud.google.com/solutions/financial-services/datashare https://cloud.google.com/solutions/financial-services/datash...
