Opt-in telemetry is useless telemetry, they make it opt-out because its the only way to get representative numbers
Why do you need unwilling representing numbers in the first place? Just ask advanced users on the official forum about what they want to see added. You only really need error logs that are absolutely opt-in
"advanced users" on forums are rarely very representive of users as a whole.
The number of people who actually change their default settings is quite small. Those of us who have these discussions are a distinct minority in the sum userbase.
I used this fact a lot in arguments and I agree. What I'm saying is that it could be worse
And I agree with you.
I have not seen a single case where advanced users have the same opinions as the average one
