Static analysis of PayPal Android app reveals 13 embedded SDKs including Meta SDK and Adobe Analytics inside a payment app

Static analysis of the PayPal Android app - 13 embedded SDKs in a payment app handling banking credentials.
SDKs found: Firebase Analytics, Amplitude, Adobe Analytics, Google AdMob, Meta SDK, Adjust, Datadog, FCM, Google Sign-In, PayPal, Braintree, Google Maps.
Notable: Adobe Analytics and Amplitude are both collecting behavioral data inside an app that processes financial transactions. Meta SDK is present - meaning Facebook receives data from PayPal sessions.
Permissions: RECORD_AUDIO, CAMERA, READ_CONTACTS, READ_PHONE_STATE, ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION.
Legal history: 2015 credential exposure incident.
Privacy score: 47/100.
Interesting that a payment processor of this size embeds this many third-party analytics SDKs. Anyone done deeper dynamic analysis on the network traffic side?
