"Is there telemetry? Yes, and it is opt-out: set ANTE_TELEMETRY=off"
Opt-out every time is unacceptable. If you opt out once it should be enough. One accidental execution path without the right environment and you're spewing telemetry to spaghetti knows where.
True, it would be better to have a mandatory policy in a system location like /etc, would could over-ride environment if specified, and a command line option to show telemetry status. But accidental omission is more likely than accidental opt-in.

That would also be true with opt-in by environment variable, though.
