Regardless of what nationality an app is created under, in today's day and age, why is not just assumed that any website/app is not slurping in all of your data (usage, messages, location, wifi name, etc)? To me, all apps are guilty until proven innocent.

Not until proven innocent, no. We need hardware and software we can inspect, that's not an unattainable goal.
It may seem far away, but any other direction is even worse... so I'd rather head towards a goal that is far away than into a wilderness that is just as far away, but boring and empty at best, terrible at worst.
