Do you think ethics would stop them? You should always assume that if a company can do something that will increase their profits, legal or otherwise, they will.
The Samsung keyboard that shipped with my cell phone was sending every single letter I typed to a third party whose privacy policy said explicitly they used that data for market research and to make determinations about the intelligence and level of education of the user. Companies are collecting analytics and monitoring people while they play video games which is then being used to group them into categories.
Lists of people with low intelligence, poor education, alzheimer’s or dementia are extremely valuable and data brokers are happy to sell them to advertisers and scammers. Google just put themselves in a position to collect that kind of data as early as possible. Why would you expect them not to use it?
