Defaults should respect the user first. Consent has to be given, not taken as a default.

Sure ask up front explicitly but don't in passing invoke the first capture before consent has been taken. That's a shitty tactic.

Collecting basic usage data is not disrespecting the user.

It is when you know you can't persuade them you have a good-enough reason to need it, so instead you don't even try.

In your opinion. Mine differs.
