I hear you – but think of tracking as a form of payment for consuming the product / service / content. You are not paying them – their advertisers are, and ads are more valuable the more tracking and attribution they come with. Data is money, and by blocking their access to data you are affecting their monetization strategy. I'm not saying it's right, I'm saying that's how the business model is set up because that's what consumers demand – paid browsers and media sites are niche or nonexistent.
