The piwik in OpenKeychain is gone in the 5.6 release. And it was always opt-in, of course.
In defense of trackers: knowing what features your users use and don't use is a huge deal to decide where to spend time on and where not. This doesn't cease to be true when software is open source. Giving users a simple way to give feedback of how they use the app is totally fair. Similar to how distros collect stats about installed packages, you wouldn't stop using Debian because it had an opt-in mechanism to send such stats upstream.
That said, multiple trackers is ridiculous, and by multiple third parties no less. I can understand that the abuse of tracking due to blind optimization for profit leads users to adopt a "trackers are generally bad" stance, since more nuanced views quickly get complicated.
