> Even if they are tracking what tools/functions I am using on the server, what does that matter?

It absolutely matters. I do not want to give facebook any data, especially about my development work.

The "what does that matter" attitude is the entire reason people do not trust Facebook.

I think you have some wires crossed.

YOU, a random developer working at some other company, or on your open source projects, are not sending data to facebook.

Facebook employees, using facebook's tools, running on facebook's dev-servers, to build facebook, ARE sending dev-tool telemetry to facebook's dev-tool-development team.

"What does it matter?" is referring to the latter.
