For the most part it is. If you collect all data you end up with a needle in a haystack problem. The answer is to aggregate everyone onto a common system like social media. Then you can monitor/manipate within a controlled environment. It's even easier when you make authentication APIs and ask user to log into their account on every other website...
If you're concerned about vendors you need to go open source. Only so much can be done against MS, Google, and Apple "analytics".
