This is a pretty dumb hot take if you ask me. Yes, they are asking for your feedback, which is data. Everything is data. Why is "data" a bad word around here?
The implication of "leave a review!" is they want info on quality to improve service; the twist is they don't care about that, just getting information about you for ad targeting.
