they can't sell your info (from remote instances) without you agreeing to a privacy policy. Now, that most likely wouldn't stop them, but it makes it harder legally.

Remote instances won’t have your IP or email, and other usage trend data. So that info could only be obtained by this hypothetical tracking instance. As for any remote content on other instances, that can just be scraped by anyone. You wouldn’t even need an account or instance to get that data.
