1. Personally I think telemetry is worth its weight in byes. If you don't have enough bandwidth to load media, that can reduce UX on most sites, but that's your problem and doesn't affect most target audiences. If you're streaming audio on Spotify the telemetry bandwidth is unlikely to get in the way. 2. I think there's still a distinction. Using telemetry to better monetize the product your using is different than selling data to a third party to target you. Back to your original post though, I do agree that you should be able to opt out of any and all data collection. This already is a pattern too, you often see the "allow us to collect diagnostic information" dialog in software.
