analyst misbehaving

I was having a flash of hidden content when my backend page loaded.
I discovered it was from the Analyst component (sellcode.com) of this plugin.
I have nothing against you/them collecting money/data, but that component is really not behaving.
For example, this

<div id="analyst-opt-out-modal" class="analyst-modal" style="display: none">
	<div class="analyst-modal-content" style="width: 600px">...</div>
</div>

is present ON EVERY SINGLE BACKEND PAGE LOAD.
I mean: why compose a message and then hide it!?

Look, seriously:
in the source of my dashboard the word “analyst” is present 151 times and analyst is responsible for a total of 357 non-blank lines (or 15Kb !!!) of html/js code.
Is it sensible? Is it a punishment for not optin-in?

I know it’s not your fault, but I strongly advocate that you put pressure on them to fix all that mess (and we’re not even seeing the php part!)
To me the only sensible implementation would be that the “optin” button was a plain dead href anchor with no js or preloaded content.

BTW while I was investigating this I found that also “Freemius” component has similar issues (now I’m going to quantify them).

Thank you
Let me know if you need more data
