Mike McQuaid has been doing this a long time and there are more egregious examples in the past. I got off the Homebrew train when Little Snitch caught Homebrew phoning home without my consent and the response from him was, the developers have already decided to implement telemetry in an opt-out fashion and any pushback to that already made decision is "abusive" to the maintainers. The Homebrew maintainers are not trustworthy. Don't use their software. If a fork was going to be feasible, it already would have happened.
