Of course they would! There are all kinds of companies out there that want that data. Advertising companies you've never heard of. They will always pay for the data. And political campaigns want that data as well. Everyone could stop using facebook today and they'd still be collecting, and paying for your data from a variety of sources. Data is the most valuable thing. And companies will buy it no matter what.
It's not just android phones, it's iphones too. At last count 70 ios apps are known to be sharing your data with facebook even if you don't have an account. It would blow your mind the data companies have collected on you. And not just now in the digital age but even long before the personal computer. Facebook could fade from public view but they'd still be able to collect and use your data to make them rich. You may think you're not using facebook so they don't have your data but you'd be sooooo wrong. And the data isn't just to advertise to you, they also use it to manipulate you.
You really don't have as much choice as you think you do.
Consumers have much more power to affect smaller businesses through their choices. But the larger a company gets the more they have their hands in everything and the harder it is to completely avoid them. You could not use android, not use any google app or service and you'd still be using google. It's impossible to access the internet and not. Same for amazon. You could never buy a product or use their service and you still couldn't use the net without them. Or various services from other companies that use them. If everyone stopped buying amazon products their store front would die off but there is a lot more to amazon than just the store. They would survive.
Thus you've lost your ability to choose.
