Selling advertising in their own app store is not selling user data to third parties.

You are conflating lots of categories that maybe you don't quite understand. Not everything is a conspiracy.

Oh but I do understand.

The strange part would be your weird definition of what constitutes selling user data.

According to your definition, Google isn't selling data to third parties since they now own the entire vertical integration when they bought double click back in 2008.
