Uh. I checked my bank (Boursorama, France) and I got 17 trackers. WTF? How can you just add trackers left and right in a _banking_ app?

Report them to the French information commissioner, for GDPR violation.

Embedding a particular SDK doesn't necessarily mean that there's a GDPR violation?

That's true, but as n_trackers increases, so does the chance of of some kind of GDPR violation (assuming independence of violations amongst trackers)
