Sorry if that’s pointed, but it’s sort of meant to be incredulous (but hopefully not offensive).
I would never encourage anyone to violate a ToS of another product and apologize for anyone that was considering doing it due to my ask.
I think these are other possibilities: 1) (as stated) other products don't have such ToS 2) other products may have published their own metrics and made them available for consumption 3) from a more legal in depth standpoint, maybe other companies have such ToS terms but have clarified them to some point that makes them more clear about when they apply and when they don't
I don't know what the overlap is between Atlassian users and IT admins though - my previous job was on the vSphere UI and if you happen to know about the death of the Flash based client, this is not too far off.
Hopefully users stay willing to engage with us so we can improve the product as fast as possible.
