The deal is not that I get the product in exchange for data. The deal is that I get a better product, if everybody shares telemetry. (But in fact I don't get incremental benefit by sharing my personal telemetry.) There are several applications I use daily where I am sure they would benefit by using some kind of telemetry. We have one business application (from a big vendor) where I accidentially learned that salespeople need hours to create invoices because of a recurring crash. Finding this, then learning to reproduce, write a bug report, go back and forth, takes days, whereas this particular bug would show up easily on telemetry. An application I developed worked fine during testing but behaved strange in the factory where it was used... it turns out that while waiting the user tends to press random things on the touchscreen, and that uncovered a bug. Without proper logging this kind of thing is really difficult to catch.
