From my research most all apps use some SDK which tracks users. Many apps use 3 or 4 for various marketing / product / business use cases. I've been tracking this on https://appgoblin.info/companies https://appgoblin.info/companies if anyone wants to check. Try looking at the "no analytics" found groups, which are just apps I haven't found evidence of 3rd party trackers, almost certainly they do use them.
I would like to see world where Angry Birds data at least stays on Angry Birds servers and have been working on building a part of that with OpenAttribution (https://openattribution.dev https://openattribution.dev) to let app/game companies build their marketing pipeline with at least one less tracker in the app.
I think as compute is getting cheaper a lot of this should/can be self-hosted by at least larger companies so they have full control of their BI tools and the data underlying it.
