That would be significant extra engineering effort without much clear benefit. It's always possible to look back and say "if only they'd done that", but this bug was a freak coincidence and it's not possible to foresee things like that, nor is it worth the engineering effort to try to avoid them with hammers as big as "move all telemetry to another process". You'd need a much stronger reason than "what if telemetry happens to trigger a longstanding bug in the network stack" to decide to go with that.
In this case, that the problem was triggered by telemetry was a coincidence; it would've been triggered by other bits of coden in the future as they moved to Rust.
