Sure, but for opensource it also means the user can maintain a forked version. It's up to the project to decide if they prefer to fight over privacy, have a fractured community, and possibly custom patched packages in some distributions - or do they explicitly ask about telemetry instead.
And in practice, do you gain enough from active collection to justify the fight? What about instead searching GitHub for digger being used in the public pipelines and building stats from that?
