Yeah if you literally just scrolled down, I elaborated on everything. Keep your “bad faith” bullshit to yourself when you’re doing it to me. Quit the astroturfing. Also yes, having an account means they objectively can track you since queries are coming from an account. There is zero guarantee they are not logging. You are shilling. “If it’s free then you’re the product” is just not a thing that’s true in reality. DDG has ads based off of search keywords. Wikipedia is entirely donations. Services exists without the user being the product.
