I use the Google survey thing too and agree that it stacks up pretty fast. I often use it to buy premium versions of apps.
That said, I really doubt the people concerned with trackers in an app would want to willingly give Google information about themselves that they sell to advertisers.
If you use browser extensions like Ghostery and AdNauseam it'll click on blocked ads in the background, essentially giving Google fake info. After I started using extensions like that my survey questions have been all over the place, and I'll answer them in a way that feels potentially accurate but is actually 100% false and irrelevant to me lol. So I get money, falsify their info, and block ads and trackers all at the same time, it's perfect!
