This kind of knee-jerk reaction says that there is no comment in the universe that would make you entertain a different perspective. That's fine, that's not what this comment is going to be.
Instead, I'll say this: the default assumption of ie "collecting crash data equates to invading my personal privacy" is just wildly off-base. I will freely admit that there are plenty of companies who have abused the concept of the always-on-network connection and are doing hardcore data-mining almost at the keylogger level. That's bad, 100%.
But there is a large majority of data-driven companies who are actively trying to make your experience with their software better, with the small team that they have. To say "well f them, they can try to divine how I, Power Linux User, would even use their software" is reductive and puts an engineering team at a distinct disadvantage and slows their overall output. This is not what you, as a user of their software, want, and it is ultimately a self-defeating argument.
"Create great solutions" does not happen in the year of our lord 2023 without data. That data needs to come from somewhere, and "make it easy to report bugs" isn't it.
