Since Google’s goal is to improve security

This is an obvious lie.

    Target can track your purchases when you shop at Target, but can't really do that when you're shopping at a local store. Same applies here.

    But you can't shop at Target with some random app, only the Target app. Even a small business has an accessible pathway to publish their app. Besides Fortnite and my gimbal nobody out here trying to educate customers on how to install their apk file.

    They mean a physical Target store, not a phone app. Target can track customers walking in and out the door and what they buy, how long they stay, etc. but they can't track anything about you if you just go to a different store, especially something like a small business which isn't hooked into the ad data sponge.
