True but how do you guarantee that once installed it can be removed and the data collected is only going to be used for this purpose? The Google/Apple API's are designed to protect privacy and to track the virus, governments want weaker privacy.

I simply do not trust governments and especially the security agencies to leave things as a virus tracker. So while the idea is good it needs to implemented properly so it can't be abused and it can be trusted. If it's not trusted people won't use it so becomes self defeating.
