It's normal to track crashes and utilization to make software better, I don't think they tracked to sell data for advertising in bitwarden case

And Google Firebase is what non-degoogled Android uses for notifications

Even more, I think it's basically the only way. Lichess app got removed from vanilla F-Droid because of that.
