I'm quite amazed at how poor google API is regarding this.
Any other provider let's you easily report conversions with just a curl
(https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/conversions-api/using-the-api,
https://ads.tiktok.com/gateway/docs/index?identify_key=2b9b4278e47b275f36e7c39a4af4ba067d088e031d5f5fe45d381559ac89ba48&language=ENGLISH&doc_id=1727541103358977#item-link-Report%20a%20web%20event
etc...)
and then we have Google, wasting everyones time by giving complex flows
that require entire SDKs for simple tasks.
It takes minutes of not seconds to implement a conversion on Tiktok,
Facebook, etc.. & it takes hours if not days for Google.
