I'm pretty sure it's not lack of user feedback. It's MBAs deciding the user is wrong and unprofitable, therefore better add more tracking and ads.

Exactly. These companies have more feedback than they could ever parse. They only listen if said feedback results in loss of profit.

Yup, and not just ads. At one of my jobs at a SECURITY company the bugs are considered a liability. Features were prioritised, vulnerabilities be damned.

After that experience I doubt most proprietary software is more secure than open source
