True. But there was a time when we managed to program software and not send every keystroke back to the mothership.
It's possible to have a daily/weekly/monthly popup that says "We've detected a few bugs over the last week, can we send the reports to the mothership?"
It's as simple as zipping the text files and sending them to an API endpoint.
I have no issue with this. Hell, you could even make it automatic where I can check a box that says "Automatically send weekly crash reports".
I have a massive issue with the devs thinking that it's ok to send telemetry back about every single thing I do in the software I've installed on MY computer so that they can "improve my experience" or whatever bullshit they use to justify it.
It's time for that to stop.
