NPM had a similar thing: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v6/using-npm/config#send-metrics

I remember discovering this a few years ago and was so annoyed that it was on my default and had to have this in my .npmrc:

    metrics-registry = null
    send-metrics = false
Looks like now it's off by default and they do not gather identifying information, I'm happy for this change.
