One thing I found find suspect in iOS 13 is Apple automatically enables collection of data of your usage of 3rd party apps. Any idea what this is for?

  Can't address authoritatively, but speculatively, there is reason to believe they would use device telemetry to check their platform exposure to malware. It's a blanket excuse to say "security," but the only viable malware detection works by inventorying telemetry off-device, as on-device can be detected instrumented around by any advanced attacker.

  Doesn't it ask you during the setup process whether you'd like to share analytics and usage data?

    There is a per app sharing option. So perhaps they added granularity to what usage data sharing to exclude sensitive applications.
