Of course facts aren't FUD. I'm responding to a lot of comments here which assume this is a bad thing, which I think is obviously why it's being upvoted as well.
And I'm not sure you understand the term FUD. You're saying my comment spreads fear and uncertainty? It's literally the opposite, I'm saying this particular thing isn't something to worry about.
Mobile apps aren't like webpages where most actions generate backend calls whose logs can be analyzed as an alternative. If 1password isn't using 3rd-party analytics, they probably rolled their own. No big difference. In any case, my point remains true -- client-side analytics is standard for essentially any commercial app, in order to improve the UX. There are exceptions of course, like for any rule, but it doesn't change the fact it's still standard.

Yeah, my bad. I guess I assumed since you replied to the top-level story and not a specific comment, that you were answering to the story itself and not comments.

No, I'm not saying that your entire comment is sounding like FUD. I'm saying that the specific part I quoted sounds like FUD, as it's easy to disprove it.
