Yup. For companies it's much safer to connect the dots with the giant amount of available metadata in the background than risk facing a huge backlash when people analyze what data you're actively collecting.

Which is why people need to call out the tracking that's actually happening in the real world a lot more, because I don't really want my search-history leaked by proxy to people in my proximity either.
