With ads/analytics, Google and the site operator know you're hitting certain pages at certain times, but assuming what they wrote under "privacy respected" is true, none of your content is uploaded.

That's an important distinction to make especially for a browser based app. It's also a very low bar IMO, but one that many other companies aren't clearing anymore, like MS, Adobe, and others.

it is so easy to avoid Google analytics as a product developer nowadays that this is really a misplay (e.g. goatcounter, etc.)

It is so easy to avoid GA as a web user that i’m surprised anyone concerned about this isn’t using an blocker that blocks GA scripts and requests themselves.
