Most of what you’ve said is blatantly not true. Google (let’s use them instead of Apple here) can of course track your app use if the app uses Firebase or the Adds SDK - which clearly a verification should never do.

But Google doesn’t have the ability to see what you do inside of an app that aren’t voluntarily sending telemetry to Google. If you have proof that they do, please present it.
