The application clearly states that it sends an opt-out notification anonymously after opt-out. I think they're doing better than most in terms of transparency. Is there room for improvement? Sure.

This is just picking on an open-source team which already has shown themselves to take user feedback about privacy seriously. If you are so suspect of third parties that any device or application sending any network traffic without previous authorization is of serious concern to you, there's a lot more important and impactful products to voice concern about. Like pretty much any other part of Microsoft.
