Apple actually does this already. You need to submit a list of domains your app is allowed to talk to and explain why they're needed.

I guess the next step is for Apple to stop allowing analytics URLs to work without an opt in prompt.

No, that's only if you're not using TLS for those domains. Which almost all are at this point.

Then you just create a proxy on your ‘required’ home site so it sends the snooped data through your site to the analyzing server.
