Yeah, a coherent privacy model, disclosure etc are all super important. It's just irritating to see people act like software of this type can rationally be shipped without any telemetry to a big group of users who aren't compiling it from source. Naturally a ton of work has to go into properly designing telemetry for something like Firefox or Chrome - not only is disclosing URLs a no-go, but you need to make sure your telemetry isn't unintentionally exposing details that are identifying in some other fashion, like on-stack data from a crash report or that sort of thing.
