That might be possible, I'd be really curious how. For something like data on what apps a user has installed, what hardware they're on, etc those data really would be first-party analytics.

Some things can be collected through third party sources, though that depends on those third party tools being used, not being blocked by a user, and on API access for those third party tools to collect the necessary data. I would hope such regulations wouldn't depend on regulating specific API design, but that could be necessary.



You are overthinking. In the Internet age it is pretty easy to learn that Google never shows "Use Chrome" banner to users of Chrome.
