Indeed, and the entire concept of smarter Siri, chatGPT integration as well as apple's ever-increasing Ad surfaces ... is powered by aggegading more and more usage analytics from users. There are so many that come on by default when you install macOS/iOS.

No, you don't need usage analytics for Siri.

(You need it for music to fulfill your contracts with the artists though.)
