The current implementation uses Universal Analytics, which was retired by Google in 2024 and replaced with GA4. I don't believe the usage data is actually being collected, nor that we have any way to view it. If we think that tracking usage data is valuable, we'll need to reimplement the functionality using GA4, or an alternative better suited to tracking app usage. This will also allow us to remove the dependency on universal-analytics, which removes a dependency on a vulnerable version of uuid – see #2543.
