Re "Any app trying to aggressively cache any downloaded asset when the user has a low bandwidth or a metered connection", I think you mean " Any app trying to aggressively cache any downloaded asset when the user has a high bandwidth or a non-metered connection "

The "return non absolute values" idea seems to be a valuable compromise between privacy and the importance of this information.

I also agree that the metered flag should be retained, though I suggest it be not a Boolean but rather "yes", "no", or "unknown". Reporting a connection as unmetered when that's actually unknown (or unknowable in the current device), is IMO a bad idea.
