I honestly don't mind information about crashes being sent as long as it is very sanitized and easy to disable- similar to how Fedora reports issues.
They send only a list of functions on the stack without any of the arguments or data.
Example: https://retrace.fedoraproject.org/faf/problems/bthash/?bth=3...
Where Google goes too far is sending everything in the name of security or better yet to "serve" the user.
IMEI and serial number make sense, I think too: Apple’s activation lock is a big reason why I bought an iPhone and as far as I can tell, it requires interaction with the server on every boot to work.
I disagree on IMEI. It never changes and is unique.
