  With all due respect, the danger to a telemetry pipeline is almost always downstream effects, like court orders to intercept network data or human assets that knowingly exfiltrate data. Even if you assume that Microsoft has the best of intentions and that all of the telemetry is for the purposes of improving the software experience, it’s a naive assumption that this doesn’t increase the attack surface substantially. With no user accessible kill switch and with all teams operating with good intentions, you still stand to create scenarios like telemtry-for-surveillance, even if the probability of such a scenario is small in the grand scheme of things.
