The assumption that windows package manager does not permit opting out of telemetry seems to be wrong.
The whole issue is not stating how to opt out and someone assumed that it means it is not possible. However, based on the updated readme https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli#datatelemetry https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli#datatelemetry there was a way to opt-out from the beggining, just not documented.
Yes, it should have been clarified from the start, but I think it's positive the option was always there and they managed to clarify how to opt-out in mere 7 hours.
