The removal of RSS is just an example of poor management and decision making by Mozilla.
I think that even if telemetry had had different results, they would have then just ignored it for making that decision. Or they would have changed the interface to hide a feature, and then when users used it less, they would use that as justification to remove something.
There was really no good reason to remove it. They quantified the costs of keeping it at something like $5000. How much do they spend translating Firefox into obscure languages that nobody downloads? Or on catering for their galas and fundraisers? Or any other stuff not related to writing software?
There is much more robust discussion on this already.
