Well, Richard Stallman was right. But I wonder if he or anyone ever thought that it went so far. When they save "installed on every phone" does that mean every phone in existence? In the USA?
No. Verizon doesn't use Carrier IQ at all, and as far as I can tell T-Mobile only deploys it on BlackBerrys. If I had an Android device on AT&T or Sprint, though, I'd want to install Cyanogenmod.
