I feel like this is sort of a "you reposted in the wrong neighborhood" moment. OpenTelemetry is a vendor-neutral framework and standard for generating performance data (spans, metrics, logs) about systems, particularly distributed ones where it's impossible to just load up a debugger to figure out why something is failing or slow. It's not a framework for collecting user data. User data and performance data are completely separate things. Your concerns about privacy are important, but not really relevant to the topic.
