For me it all comes down to their privacy statement and past behavior. Everything it tracks is so deeply personal; I opted with a different company, Withings, that has an easy-to-parse privacy statement and good track record. Stats are cool, but only if you trust where they’re stored.

So many are, but they are now insidious and everywhere. It’s like recycling - it’s good when everyone does it, but it’s more impactful when it’s orgs and govs. Amazon runs AWS web services, and that alone… add in things like “libraries just lost a distributor with no replacement” and it is worse.
