Long ago I bought a DJI mavic. I generally don't use apps for any stuff.

I couldn't fly it with the joystick controller that came with it. It said "see app" or something on the controller. It was really annoying but I sent it back. A cursory web search said it was sending all kinds of location/flight information/etc back to dji continuously.

I thought there would be outrage, but not much.

I think it is sort of annoying that they are going after DJI specifically.

I think congress should be going after device/app privacy itself for all devices/apps in a more fundamental way.
