The vast, vast majority of people simply do not care about this type of privacy (from absolute strangers with no details about their personal lives). It's a nerd canard that this type of data sharing matters. Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, Chrome, games consoles, Docker, VS Code, IntelliJ etc. They all collect telemetry and stats on how they are used. That didn't stop them becoming monster success stories even amongst the developer population because nobody cares. The Go team are right to do this. Really, we should all be following their lead. Software telemetry is essentially pure win with no downsides for end users, which is why everyone has adopted it. It can also be done in better ways than we do now, like by recording stats in human readable form in files that sit around for a while before they get uploaded, so uploads can be turned to manual mode for inspection by the 0.1% of people who do seriously care.
