The Google and Facebook stalking concerns me way more than any PIN leakage to be honest (and I'm wondering why they need both Google and Facebook Analytics?).

The leaked PINs were "leaked" to employees (and even then there's no evidence they were misused) and I expect them to be able to do damage even without those PINs if they wanted to, so to me it's not that big of a deal. The risk here could be if you reused the PIN on other cards.

Because they are optimising for both Google and Facebook ads. You may not like that answer, but it's true.
