It’s logging what’s used so that the app can be improved to fit the use cases of its users.

Of course it’s reasonable. The other choice is developing blindly or listening to the vocal minority. Both of which hurt ALL users in the end.

Software has always been developed that way and it has never been a problem. It’s only recently that developers somehow got the idea that they are entitled to perform surveillance on their customers. It’s nonsense.

It's always been a problem, most people just don't know that because the majority of users don't express their concerns in the way(s) that the developers are open to hearing those concerns.

I'd consider it reasonable if there was some way to opt out, and if they made it clear what telemetry was sent - that should be in the readme, I shouldn't have to trawl through the code to find it.

Note that I'm saying this as someone that generally doesn't mind providing telemetry - but they need to be clear.
