You're not kidding, and it's not even the author of the article.

Well, I thought it was superfluous, just superfluous.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Is this the MacDonalds of forum posters? Would you like me to supersize that?
The ironic thing is that comment would have made sense and been quasi-useful if it was just the first paragraph.

I'm honestly less disturbed by the idiot who used "reply" instead of "post comment" than appalled by the fact that despite the article being broken 11 of the 15 votes on it were 5's.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I like how you mentioned your reference.

The newer versions of Android by default back up all user data from all apps in the cloud and restore them on app reinstall. At first glance it's a great service for free.
Now if you happen to be a developer, who stores some app settings and data on the device and through his advanced skills managed to mess up said data and hopes to clear the mess through an app reinstall is in for a big surprise.

Wouldn't a factory reset clear the data?

Yes, but it would make the debugging process somewhat slower. Anyway, there is an opt-out attribute in the app manifest file, but I still wonder why it is enabled by default.
Oh and let's not forget it is in the cloud. I didn't really bother to factory reset, but theoretically after a factory reset the messed up data is in the cloud and would happily apply as soon as you log in to the google drive.

Because it is data, and therefore money.

What cloud? Are you assuming that all Android users stay logged into Google?

Well, yes, it is like a virtual hard drive. I keep music, documents etc there. It is automatically on the whole time.
It's a really nice feature, but now I have to write some code to reset app data on all read exceptions.

Is there a way to disable this? If not, I will definitely think twice about an Android phone. I absolutely hate automatic crap like that.

I know I can disable it in the app manifest(config, which I will do next version), so that the app will tell the backup service not to bother. But I don't think you can disable it globally on the device.

Hasn't allowBackup been around since about v6?

Yep since API 23. It's just that I never managed to generate a bug that would matter in this scenario.

You do not need to uninstall to clear the data (at least on my Android.)
Go into Settings, then Apps. Select the app then select Storage and you should have two buttons, one clears the cache the other clears the data and cache.
