Your right to assume you don't know whats happening behind the scenes in a proprietary software without further investigation. I think the cognitive dissonance is not following that conclusion to its logical end which is: use a non-proprietary software, otherwise you can't know what you dont know and you cant learn what you cant discover, among other tautologies. What little snitch alerts you too isn't even scratching the surface of whats going on behind the scenes on your device. If you would like to get a sense of that check out FSMonitor and just run it in the background for an hour.
