Most non-open source players and codecs do that, btw. It is insane. In the case of VLC, telemetry would help to know which options are used the most and which ones are not. It could help knowing which menus are never accessed. Besides that,

This is the biggest issue we have. People use VLC for various different things, from DVD playback to audio media library to audiobooks or professional QA. Not everyone has the same needs.
