> Can I ask why this is not something people want?

I block it because the data it collects is none of Google's business. Being "anonymized" doesn't make it any better.

It literally is Google's business. That's what they do. They're an ad agency. They sell you.

I know that Google builds its business on the backs of user data. That doesn't change the fact that data regarding me or my machines is "none of their business" in the colloquial sense. That Google forcefully disagrees is what makes them a spy agency.
