I don't like the stated justifications for enforcing telemetry — even if it is genuine, it is basically self-deception. In my experience, access to analytics is a quality of life improvement for programmer, that does not actually result in better products. Having a thousand times more crash-reports wont's cause your employees to grow extra hands and brain-cells to act on all of them. Having a great insight in user behavior does not automatically translate in great managerial decisions. Personally I would love Gitlab to stop overusing Javascript and fix performance of their backend instead of trying to conceal issues by refusing to show big files and abusing lazy-loading. But judging by their recent actions, they are more likely to copy more anti-features from Github than work on actual hard problems.
