Nothing really prevents f-droid from this, right?

Well, they shouldn't.
After all, their Open Source ;-)
@Tommy LOL
Nothing, absolutely nothing prevents from doing open-source surveillance.
Specially server-side and where the package manager (f-droid application) fetches from the same server and that android devices are easily fingerprintable (most will happily tell you the model in the user-agent for example).

That is true..
Sorry for that.
But still, the proprietary apps in the Google Play Store could hurt you.
@Tommy Sure, but Google Play Store application could be open-source that it wouldn't change much.
Google Play Store is just adding insult to injury.

@lanodan @Tommy meanwhile mentioned aurora store just provides anonymous access to Play Store(that's probably forbidden by Google's ToS but who care?)
It's opensource. But it's a client to a proprietary services.
And yes, nothing stops to archive an access logs even in full FOSS. I guess they call it... "telemetry"? :)
