And if we read https://www.exodus.com/privacy/, data they collect when we use their app may be shared to 3rd party.

Nothing of value was lost here. In fact, using Monero with Exodus may be pointless as all the data that they collect on you can be used to deanonymize your activity.

Yeah, that's what i implied.

Even if you're using an open-source light wallet, but still connecting to someone else's node remotely, there are traces of your activity that you don't own or control. Monero's official wallet can be used to connect to a remote node as well, essentially making it a light client. The only alternative that kind of makes sense is Feather because we're all so used to Electrum, but even that isn't a good enough reason for me and I have no use for the integrated instant exchanges. I do my exchanges through Bisq.

It's still far better than closed-source one, since it opens possibility to find out and verify how much privacy you actually lose. For example, Feather wallet actually download all block from certain height. It's very slow for old wallet, but preserver high amount of privacy if you use VPN or other kind of proxy.
