Question about "Usage Data"
After adding Firebase Analytics to the app, I noticed that "Settings" and "Usage Data" has become visible in the app. That is quite alright but the checkbox to enable/disable the tracking is grayed out.
I read

However, it is not clear to me why this feature is visible if it cannot be disabled by the user, implying it could by showing a checkbox. If this standard text "Allow this app to collect anonymously..." is mandatory, than what imply that the user can deactivate it and not just show it as a block of text?
On a side note, I attempted to attach a screenshot to the post but this form shows an http 400 error after pasting it :-)

@user_#478678 HTTP 400 perhaps the screenshot is too big. I will ask our devops guys to make the limit larger. Regarding the Firebase I will ask around.

Hello @user_#478678. In which country were you, when you had made screenshoot with disabled analytics button?
Ireland
@user_#478678 Ireland is part of EU, so to avoid any conflicts with GDPR, data collection is disabled.
I understand. Would you agree that instead of enabling the tickbox and graying it out, it would make more sense to unset the tickbox and gray it out? This is confusing to the user and implies that it is enabled and they cannot govern the behavior of the switch. In my opinion this is a product defect.
