I might have misunderstood this but is Android really trying to push this as tracking as a privacy upgrade, simply because it let's us choose which of our interests we want advertisers to have access to?

Well... I don't use any apps that show ads. I'd rather not use my phone at all. And if Android adds more tracking itself it may be time to give Graphene a shot.

No ads doesn't mean no data collecting

No, but it does mean no ads. (That’s good.)
