Thank you. I wasn't suggesting it is necessarily bad. It looks like the openness and ease of disabling is being handled much better here than with Win10.

However, the option to disable on install (checkbox prompt for preference) would be much better. This is an improvement over the Win10 approach.

That’s the recurring debate with opt-in = better for privacy but skewed stats vs. opt-out = more relevant stats but bad for privacy(?).

Homebrew is opt-out post-install by setting a flag as well (no option or warning pre-install). But they do remind you afterwards that they are tracking and give you a link to learn how to disable it. As long as no data is sent until first use (giving you a buffer to opt-out), I don't have an issue with this.
