At least, I personally think that the system being an opt-in by default would reduce this. I did mull on it yesterday a little and it isn't really great that opt-out is the design when there's API support for extracting data.
Since there isn't a good reasons for the data collection, opt-out is also against EU law. GPDR sets requirements for processing personal data. FFlogs and tomestone are most likely to small to ever get into problems with that, but it's still not a great look.
