I’m not treating them as a monolith. I’m suggesting that if the concern is a local program on your computer shipping usage metrics to Google, Golang and Homebrew both do that. Both support well-documented opt-out, and I’m not personally bothered by the existence of either as a default-enabled feature. But it’s odd to me that because Google has many employees, you’re ok with golang sending usage data to one of their databases, but you have major beef with homebrew sending to another database 6 feet to the left. Is your concern default-enabled metrics? Or metrics sent to Google? Or specifically GA as a storage backend? It’s not clear from this thread.
