I agree with you but unfortunately that doesn't seem to be happening in a near future. With this BigData thing where companies want to keep track of your data, likes, etc web is their way. I do miss old times native and robust desktop applications.

There's no reason they couldn't collect that data on 'native' apps though; we've got Google Analytics integrated in our mobile app which sends events to the same account as the website.

I gave it a search and you're actually right[1]! I was aware of the web/android/ios analytics apis, didn't know this one.

Thanks for that! :)

Although, this even makes it more difficult to understand this path.
