I suspect whatever OS you are using as host also talks to the mothership, it just doesn't say it in a privacy page. MacOS has telemetry, but it seems to be easily disabled. Is it really disabled? Nobody but Apple knows. It's safe to say that both Windows and MacOS are chatty. But, for whatever reason, I trust Apple more. My firewall runs OpenBSD. That's a breath of fresh air. I can run ps and understand exactly what processes are running and why. Definitely no inexplicable TCP connections.
