I'm of the opinion that all the telemetry is used to identify the remaining parts of Windows users can still rely upon and so they can be 'improved' by a PM looking to redirect an existing user base onto some new-crap. In this way, users have nowhere to hide. Any refuge from the new UI changes will be tracked, identified and targeted for termination.
