Seems like banning all advertising would end all this stupidity. Seems like Google Android is following iOS's lead...

Jesus. They keep adding more that default to "on," and bury the settings deeper each time. It's absurd.

I literally got a notification that took me to this menu. They aren't trying to hide it

I didn't. I only found out about it through this post.

I also had to dig down two menus deep past the config search results. Looks pretty hidden to me.

I didn't either. Found it four pages deep. under "other privacy settings", nonchalantly placed at the bottom of the last page. And i just did a search for that kind of thing two weeks ago and somehow missed it.
