This was the echo of old bad decisions, not a new one. It wasn't intentional on our part, and we're working on a fix. (See my top level comment for more detail on what happened.)

Probably their VCs wanted more MRR rather than more respect of privacy, and it translated to this.

Ultimately they are optimizing for profit, not (profit*ethics), and all of their actions will be guided by that optimization.
