It does seem like this collects a lot of unnecessary information. I know it may be useful to know some of the statistics and I don't think there is a problem with the general statistics persay (i.e. kernel version, cpu, gpu - things that are common enough that they won't easily identify a user). However, it looks like it also records a bunch of information on installed packages which, given how uniquely people set up their systems, could easily be an identifying value point.
I think this might've been an easier sell if they kept it to general data and used it for the purpose they stated they wanted to originally - counting the number of users of manjaro - as the depth of information they send is unnecessary for that
