But your app doesn't have to do that.
The TOS are generally broad enough from the start that you can do anything you want with user data as is necessary to provide product features. Nobody's updating TOS every time they add a new feature.
Realistically, this is specifically about situations around selling data to third parties, and/or training for AI that is not related to product features. (There's a big difference between Zoom using chats for building LLM's, versus Google training on Gmail messages to build Gmail autocomplete.)
