@andrew_shadura @trysdyn Also (I wrote in depth on this a long time ago, should dig it up) the word "telemetry" here is very loaded and harmful.
"Telemetry" conventionally means remote sensing/measurement done on something the party gets the readings from owns and has deployed.
In the context of software, it implies the software running on your device really "belongs to" the party getting the telemetry, and is an agent acting remotely on their behalf.
