Reading this: https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/telemetry-should-you-all... I've stumbled on this:

> Optional telemetry, of course, but again - this creates a selective and unpredictable reality. Ordinary people don't care either way, and nerds will always make deliberate choices that often have nothing to do with product or profit or anything else entirely.

So, by that logic, users who opt out of telemetry are aware of why they are doing it. People who don't care share their chaotic usage patterns. This creates a false picture of usage reality, and makes software worse. In conclusion, there are only two remaining choices: 1. Make telemetry non-optional 2. Ditch telemetry and rely on QA studies
