The point of having an Android phone was not to have everything synchronized, but to use the functionality, like internet access, which these mini computers enable. I do not see why that fundamentally committs one to sharing everything about what I do with the phone with my provider, or Google, or whoever else decides to pay for that information. Like I said, I might pay twice as much for a phone/provider that didn't constantly tap into my information.
Like Facebook, the true valuation is not in what you pay to use the device, but the data points you make by using it everyday. That's where the money is, so making it impossible to collect that info would just be bad business for them.
I try to keep as much locally as I can, but I'd be lying if I said I don't benefit from that level of integration.
