How do they do this? How is the device not trivially trackable ?

List a few ways it's "trivially trackable".
Correlating device type & OS version, IP address and time of access is a pretty good way to connect the dots between “anonymised” IDs. If the same IDs always show up in quick succession from the same IP and device type/version chances are it’s the same person just checking multiple apps on their phone. Time of access and IP address can be used to infer where the person lives (to a certain degree or accuracy), when they are working, etc.
