That just allows Google full access to all logs from any application you have installed.

That service is not free either per month and those costs will be passed to the consumer in either a subscription or worse software.

i mean google would have it anyway; and the app developer would be collecting the logs any way so the cost would be there already. this would just make it so they wouldn't need to request full network access; just enough to get the logs.
