They can't really.. unity itself doesn't have an installer so not sure how they could track 'installs' reliably, the installer is added by the developer. If they add tracking to the library that (a) creates issues for people using app stores as now you have to declare you're tracking people, and that can be grounds for rejection (you need a watertight privacy policy at the very least, and 'we send it to a company in the US' isn't going to fly), and (b) not all apps are installed over the internet, or given internet access. 3d visualisation is more than games.
