I've heard the same data as you. But I haven't heard data on what happens if you force people to make a choice about the telemetry upon install, without offering a default. Like, instead of having a prechecked box that people would have to notice and uncheck before proceeding or a greyed out "maybe later" button, what about two different continue buttons labeled "yes, help us improve with anonymous statistics" or "no, I'd rather not contribute"? (Either way with a link available to more details in the privacy policy before deciding.) My guess is that it would be less useful telemetry than opt-in, more useful than opt-out, and a slight obstacle to sign-ups for consumer webapps but not much of an obstacle to enterprise webapps or anything pre-downloaded. Maybe it's still useful and smooth enough to be the right balance vs privacy?
