Perhaps they don't intend to use the data as telemetry, but regardless, intentionally or not, they are receiving information about what you are running, even if it were just a hash of the binary. So you're right, it would be a trivially small information leak, but I'd like to think a company focused on privacy wouldn't resort to such an aggressive protocol.

I haven't followed this very closely, has anyone determined exactly what is being sent?
