The need to gain consent is highly dependent on what is being consented to. If you invite me over for dinner I don’t need to get your consent to wash my hands

The need to gain consent is highly dependent on what is being consented to.
If you invite me over for dinner I don’t need to get your consent to wash my hands or use your bathroom. That is implied by inviting me over to dinner.
That’s why I think the “consent to be murdered” argument is such a bad analogy. It assumes the slippery slope goes all the way.
Just because I think (e.g.) Homebrew’s analytics doesn’t need opt-in consent doesn’t mean I believe that all forms of analytics and data collection shouldn’t need opt-in consent.
I think that an application having a default that collects non-personal crash and bug analytics is acceptable, while an application that collects more detailed personal information isn’t.
