It's not about what the programmers want, it's about the sales and marketing departments. They are the ones who use and abuse that data
As a UI designer, no it's not just them. We need to know how people are using features to know if we should prioritise or deprioritise work on them and what work we might want to put in them.
Thank you. I've personally not worked at a company yet that actually sold this data or moved it outside of our internal systems. It exists purely to drive business decisions
So ask them to take the survey, instead of spying on them.
Biases data towards only users willing to do such things.
They're able to autocorrect for that, in the way they present the surveys and the type of questions they are asking, they actually have trick questions to check for those kind of things.
