Because then no one would turn it on?

I get it though… I don’t really want my database access tracked either. Maybe it would be better to include this as part of the account creation process. At least then you can tell the user what you're collecting and why.

hard disagree

they should store crash reports locally and next time i open the app ask me whether i want to send them or not

what they decided to do instead is spying
