Off-by-default in a scale likely means that there is no telemetry at all. I would not cancel a guy or programming language based on just suggesting that. He has given a lot of though for that if you read the blog posts.

I am, however, reminded of a quote from Peter Drucker: “There is nothing quite so useless as doing with great efficiency something that should not be done at all.” I’m not picking nits regarding the overall proposal. I’m questioning the judgement that concluded/rationalized “on by default” is the right thing to do. Also not “cancelling” at the moment, either, but definitely reassessing my future language choices and taking a more critical appraisal of Go’s direction/choices. This isn’t really an isolated incident, and trust has accumulated some dents.
