So it doesn't simply supply the generated palette from the system? (I never tried implementing Material You)

Ah alright, so it is a problem because it can be used as another bit of information to construct a more refined fingerprint of the user?

Uhm.. yeah..., sure, could certainly be another data point for that. I think you can also set static colora thought.

Yes, though now that the option exists setting it to anything would discriminate you from the group that set it the other way, I assume that the OP also considered that as problematic
