I have the same opinion on telemetry but I have never opted in for any tool no matter how politely they asked and also never seen any other technical person doing it either. So maybe for software developers it doesn't work if it's opt-in and opt-out is a good strategy?

If you peer into my windows every day in order to document the colour of the paint on my walls, you don't get to use a defence of "I was only interested in unidentifiable information and besides, they wouldn't let me do it when I asked nicely". Software installed on my machine is in a privileged position. It has more access to my personal files than my close friends and relatives. I'd rather that software respected some simple boundaries.
