removing telemetry feels like shooting yourself into the foot, you remove telemetry, they don’t get data about your usage of some advanced feature, they axe the support for that feature because “no one is using it”
cue advanced users complaining about a feature that was axed
That’s not a realistic worry for the world’s most used browser platform. There are three Billion with a B Chrome users. 3,000,000,000
Even if 99% of users disabled telemetry they would still have a telemetry base of 30 million. And I would guess it’s closer to 90% telemetry enabled right now since most people do not change browser defaults.
