Telemetry per se is not a bad thing when you make it with privacy at the center of it. If you offer users the chance to opt-in/opt-out of logging and then REALLY respect that decision by first) not generating data when the user does not want to and second) not using the data for purposes the user does not sign up for (in downstream, analytics mostly)

then telemetry can actually be beneficial to keep improving your product and features.
