Lots of large applications have extensive telemetry without any significant blowback (as far as I'm aware). MS Office, Firefox, Chrome, ... It's not undoable for utilities either, just the effort/benefit ratio probably doesn't justify it.

Not sure about the others, but AFAIK Firefox telemetry is only enabled (or at least sent to Mozilla) on pre-release channels. > It's not undoable for utilities either It's undoable in the sense that you'll be bundling more telemetry code than there is actual utility code, and downstream is going to remove it as soon as it lands.

  Firefox Health Report is on and shared with Mozilla by default on release builds - it prompts you about it on first run. There's additional telemetry in pre-release builds.
