I believe telemetry can also provide false impressions. Sometimes the conclusions that are drawn by how often a feature is used can be highly misleading. In any case it needs to be optional. Don't be Windows here. This is what gives telemetry a bad name and it deserves the bad reputation. Of course it can be useful, but opt-in and complete anonymization should be a minimal requirement. If that is given it can be crucial to identify more arcane software bugs and can indeed improve a software. I don't think it is a necessity though and should never fall into the hands of sales managers.
