I'm confused how anonymized data is personal to an individual ?? Clearly Google can't be serious with a statement like this, or am I missing some logic here?

Also, more importantly, is there an appetite for self hosting mobile games ?

When it says "anonymized" it means that whatever would be stored doesn't contain information that directly relates back to you. For an example instead of relating the data to you via username or email they'll use an UUID (ie. @[email protected] become d9ef9b1b-c0f3-4ced-88e1-e84b2751fad5, and at some point this ID is related back to the user for whenever they open up the Google Play Store).
