Well, when you're transparent about adding features that users don't want, I don't think it comes as a surprise that users express they don't want those features.

Granted, Gitlab wants telemetry in order to understand how Gitlab is being used. I'm sympathetic to their goal. But I'm also sympathetic to a sort of "NIMBY" response from users even if overall telemetry might improve the ecosystem for everyone. It's a sort of "tragedy of the commons" situation.
