> The over-reliance on deep telemetry metrics, for instance, seems kind of a natural evolution of a company that cherishes as much feedback as it can get.

Telemetry is almost the opposite of user feedback as it completely disregards the human element of the user. You may be able to tell what is used often, where users drop out but you don't know why and you don't know what is important to you users. So what telemetry ends being used for more often than not is to back up the developer's own preferences by seemingly backing them up with data without actually doing so.
