Ah, there’s also this in json:
"uc": "1", // User consent for tracking = True; OK what ?!My guess is that developers are pretending to got user consent to get more money from the ads.

Easier to ask forgiveness than permission. Most companies are so big, getting caught is relatively cheap with how low the fines are compared to their annual profits.
It’s just a line item on their expense sheets, anymore, and most people don’t have the money to get the justice they deserve in court.

This we can expect but there’s also a trend to idolise solo developers or small firms but everyone can be shitty and everyone should be accountable. In this case a smaller developer steals user data do defrauds Unity most likely because they think they’re too small to be worth investigating.
