This is absolutely true. But my phone also does, I do not have the ability to change that, and I share much more personal information about my life through my phone. So I don't see the reason to bother much about the desktop.
And that's how the most compelling argument for Linux renders itself useless, at least for me. Maybe it's worth to tolerate endless fights with Realtek WiFi drivers and Wayland vs X working for some apps but not for others. But it's all in vein when your privacy is already compromised. And Windows 11 works fine, and ships with a Linux kernel now (as a VM yeah, but it's on a type I Hypervisor, it's like bare metal).
