The kind of intrusive cross-site “we want to know evetyrging you do on the internet” style tracking that focus blocks is completely different than the minimal application usage telemetry that it collects.

Focus increments a counter if you search. With no way of knowing who you are, what you searched for or any way to correlate it to other telemetry.

Pretty sure they will get your IP. If you use any other Mozilla product, chances are they know who you are. And they can correlate it with other telemetry data. Not saying they do, just that they can.
