i know they're a company and they need to float, but this should be opt in not opt out

Opt-in telemetry is useless telemetry, they make it opt-out because its the only way to get representative numbers

Why do you need unwilling representing numbers in the first place? Just ask advanced users on the official forum about what they want to see added. You only really need error logs that are absolutely opt-in

"advanced users" on forums are rarely very representive of users as a whole.
