For the record: This is inconvenient, and I don't like some of the security implications (needing a foreign govt app to apply, possible third parties handling data, etc), but this is NOTHING compared with the invasive visa application processes travelers from many countries have to go through.
Also, all the information the ETA application requires is (and has long been) captured at the border control checkpoint, too.
