Tracking it themselves on a spreadsheet or database to feed into a chart and apply some pattern recognition, sure, but even as nominally anonymized user data? Especially with all the times data breaches of one sort or another are in the news, not to mention when it breaks that coverups of other data breaches were in place for various lengths of time with no solid information on how many never even get reported on.
Simple: the cloud connected app is now the low effort lift for pretty much everyone.
