One of the linked issues has this to say (https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/122098785 https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/122098785): > As a company, we develop a library that collects sensor and location data from the device, sends it to our platform, and transforms it into meaningful information about the user (user habits, routines, etc.). > Over the past years, it has been painfully difficult to support Chinese OEM devices (Huawei, Xiaomi, etc.). These OEMs are modifying Android in ways that break core functionality. The default behavior of these devices is to forbid newly installed apps to send/receive broadcasts, acquire wakelocks, start services, set alarms, etc. in certain conditions (e.g. screen off), unless the user explicitly whitelists the app. Honestly, I would prefer such an app stay broken. I don't need the app collecting that data in the background. If the attitude of Android developers is that they should be permitted to run in the background and collect this kind of information without explicit background permission from the user, then it's a no-brainer for OEMs to push back in order to preserve battery life.
