This is such a non-story.

  How so? Everybody screams bloody murder whenever the topic of telemetry is brought up and this is telemetry on a massive scale.

    You're right, but I guess it seems to be a non-story to developers because the first thing you do prior to launch is add telemetry for user behavior and app performance.

      Exactly. Every website and every mobile app, android and iOS, where the devs and/or product management are competent at all, are tracking your behaviors. That is how they know whether each and every feature is working well or not. The articles on this recently are just making a stink over nothing. Imagine trying to run any kind of business without being able to observe how your customers are interacting with your product? I get that it is surprising and creepy but people just need to get over it because it isn't going anywhere and it is actually very valuable and good. If there is anything to be upset about here it is that that tracked information is frequently sold to 3rd parties without user consent which I'm all for legal restrictions on.

        That is how they know whether each and every feature is working well or not. How does this explain the "quality" of Snapchat and Tinder?
