If telemetry is opt-out, there's a good chance most people won't be aware that it's even there - that's deceptive. At the very least, there should be a big scary banner saying "your data is being sent to our servers" on every single command - that's the only way you can assure that everyone who uses the tool will be informed.

The big argument to opt-out telemetry is that "opt-in doesn't work", so yes, I'm assuming most won't.
If my assumption is wrong, why not just ask people? They'll say "yes" anyway.

It should probably say- "Ensure that the functions and libraries you use continue to be supported by sharing your usage statistics." > If my assumption is wrong, why not just ask people? They'll say "yes" anyway. There's not really a great place to ask, but it could be a checkbox in the installer, sure.
