It can be, but when you're a company like Microsoft you've poisoned the well with anyone who cares about these things. I have no confidence whatsoever that MS has purely good, product-improving/research-based intentions with VSCode telemetry.

They are just refactoring telemetry control and fucked up with porting over existing preferences because it's not a 1:1 thing.
