What I don't get is, why do they have to store the telemetry data encrypted locally. Why can't I see what my computer is sending off.

Presumably so that other applications can't mine telemetry for nefarious reasons.
You might have stronger thoughts about your choice of OS if you saw what they really knew and stored.
