They weren't forced. No one held a gun to their head. They willingly traded their privacy for a donut.

There's nothing "willing" about it; the vast majority of users have no clue what private information these apps are hoarding.
They also switched Roll Up the rim to REQUIRE the app if you want to roll (2? 3 years ago?) - I hope a successful lawsuit comes out of that given this privacy ruling.. a lot of people were forced to install the app just so they could collect an occasional free coffee/doughnut. If they did that last minute at the counter they wouldn't even have read the permissions (a similar argument to that which renders many EULA invalid in Canada).
