I've upvoted you, even though we obviously don't agree, because I think that was a really excellent response. Personally, I find that I have knee-jerk reaction to this. My feeling is that if something can be wrong or be abused, it will. That's why I feel that the best thing would be for opt-in telemetry to be simply put outside of consideration. This kind of data collection is something that we've given to ourselves as an industry in the past few years, but we've developed software for decades without it. IMO, developers definitely have no inherent right to extract data from user systems, especially with Open Source products, where the license effectively says that there are no strings, and no obligations. If we want this, I think that we should have to make the case for it.
