It literally wasn't configurable nor optional (aside from just not using it, which is my point).

This isn't my path. I'm not the one who snuck it into app without user consent. I've made it very clear that I miss Amethyst. I just don't trust the developers until they acknowledge the issue and commit to not doing it again. I would absolutely use it again. Not getting the issue is the problem.

And if you don't see the issue with saving what people type (even when they chose not to share it) without their knowledge or consent, then you are missing out on ethics.

Adding in configuration options after the fact doesn't address the root issue, which is the nonchalant attitude toward user privacy and choice.
