I think there is probably some overlap in raw data with wildly different representations of it. But yeah, the business useful stuff is a bit more invasive.
Either way, telemetry isn't inherently evil and it really does help the company.
It's like sending crash reports. If nobody sends crash reports, it's nearly impossible to know the scale of a crash or how to fix it.
The people who choose not to send crash reports for privacy concerns are being subsidized by the people who give up their privacy and send them, usually out of ignorance.
