a tracking pixel on your phone, which just by the way can’t even be removed if you format the device.

Since you can't download hardware across the internet, reformatting a device will certainly get rid of software which "install a tracking pixel on your phone".

The pixel, which is just a dot on your screen, is most likely a clear pixel image, which isn't installed on your phone, but rather sends a request to a server for the image each time you use your phone. Nobody downloads the pixel either. You download and agree to use their software. Software which can be removed.

My company uses tracking pixels every day. This is nothing new.
