I use VS Codium for this reason and self host git so yeah for me that's definitely a thing. And I have a ton of stuff to block as much telemetry from other software and websites as I can, including on mobile.

It's not for everyone but yes there are still Don Quixotes like me fighting the army of windmills :)

I suspect the proportion of us here at HN is pretty high too.
