> This is a very surprising choice. I believe that it's not too surprising if you know that most of their users are from HN. The HN comments on every telemetry-related post that I've seen have been violently, overwhelmingly, religiously against telemetry (not tracking - telemetry proper) in any form. Even if those comments aren't representative of the views of the readers as a whole, if you're building a company and those comments are your biggest insight into your users' feelings - you're going to do stuff like this. (and yes, it shouldn't have to be said that this inhibits security, but then again most of the anti-telemetry HN commentators are fine with that)
