> Pay money for the very very valuable data
I would assume a primary internal use for this would be to test their driver against specific applications and to develop enhancements and improvements for them. The driver offers application specific mappings, so perhaps they want to know what applications are actually being used to better inform their efforts.
If the drivers are continuously updated with this information to provide an improved experience for the largest parts of their user base, then they are effectively paying back for the use of this data.
If that's as far as their use of this data goes, then what more do they directly owe you for the data?
- Jiro 5y ago"Pay money to get the data from the user" doesn't mean "pay money whether the user wants it or not, and take the data whether the user wants to or not". It means that the user has to engage in a voluntary transaction where he can decide whether the price he's paying is worth it or not. No price is "worth it" if the decision that the price is worth it is a one-sided decision that comes from the company.
