NASA couldn't obtain that same data locally, they had to know how the vehicle and software behaved in the real situation. NASA's telemetry also ran on their own hardware, not on arbitrary users'.
Contrast that to Go, which is used in real situations internally at Google. They don't need to spy on their users, they have first hand experience using the tool.

And that’s a big disadvantage if I were to scale the usage of Go then I would say startups and middle orgs occupies like 80% if the Go team work according to logic at google scale, Go wouldn’t be this successful
- revelio 3y agoOne of the top complaints about Go is that it over-indexes on the quirky way Google does things, so collecting telemetry only from themselves would seem to have the same problem. It is reasonable to want an unbiased sample of the userbase.
