      It’s an artifact of them retaining a traditional business model where they sell you a product and you pay them money for it. Since they’re selling you a product they want you to have confidence that the product works in your interest. On the other hand, companies like Google is that they give stuff like Chrome to you for free and then make money mining your usage data. So the actual product ends up being your data and Chrome is just a tool for getting it out of you.
