If this data has value, and you are requiring your users to provide it, that makes your software transactional in its nature, and not FOSS. If the data you are collecting is useful to law enforcement, for prosecuting an individual, you aren't anonymizing it enough. The simple response to any law enforcement request should be simple, "We have no way of providing you with data identifiable to an individual." FOSS has existed for decades without telemetry, it isn't needed to make good software, the convenience of it shouldn't come at the risk to your users, and should not represent a commercial benefit that is required from them to provide to you for use of your product. It's simple, and the rest of these justifications is noise.
