That's exactly how Google uses it. They will make an interesting feature, that absolutely require this to be enabled.
It's similar to how to get list of recently watched YouTube video on your phone you need to give permission to Google to log your history, because it's impossible, of course, to store that locally on your phone.

- atatatat 5y agoRight, but if I use none of their stack, it doesn't affect me. There is a bifurcation of people who want to learn about the tech they use every day, and those that don't. Those that don't can't be saved if they won't grab around for the life raft. Rest of us still want to build PWAs.
- takeda 5y agoYou talk like that because you're a front web developer and that's your bread and butter. There are tons of other areas (even in computer science) where you are out of your bubble and you know nothing about. Similarly, there are people who don't work on websites, writing javascript, in fact they think they think those people are dumb monkeys who can't even make their stuff work on all browsers. They don't care about latest features, in fact they prefer browser being a dumb tool to view websites not a replacement for an OS.
