I think it useful to distinguish between plug-ins the are enhanced by in-app purchases vs. those that require purchases to be functional. I find nothing more annoying than to download an app to my phone only to discover that the in-app purchases are required to make it work.
As to the privacy issue, again Greg makes a useful point that downloads that reveal the canvas extents are passing possibly private data. I think it we might want to add warnings to various existing data providers (like XYZ tiles) to remind users that they are exposing this information. Several common map providers are well-known for their data harvesting and subsequent mining of that data.
