I've seen many analytics frameworks that try to capture whatever device identifiers they can get their hands on. I bet half the apps on your phone use one. And this has been an accepted practice in the industry for years. Why do you think Apple and browsers have been slowly removing access to these IDs? I tend to agree that such data collection is unnecessary and unwanted, but if a product or service is putting that shit in their software, and they call it out in their privacy policy and users consent to providing that information, then I don't see the legal problem. Though I certainly wish we would make laws that disallow such practices.
