It's not control as in "track and control the user". It's control as in "normalising the environment".... if the user can install your app then they can use your service - it's not a weird issue with a browser add on or cookie or whatever.
If it's proprietary then you can't confirm what it's actually doing or change it. Even if the uni has no intentions of being controlling they have unjust control of your computing.
Browsers work just fine. The add-ons they don't like are the privacy ones.
They want your data.
