I have my issues with what 1Password has become as a product, but this seems like a very good stance to take. As a product owner, it's essential to know what and how people are using the product, collecting some straightforward telemetry that's anonymized and doesn't contain and Vault data strikes me as reasonable.

If it is so essential, how have they been so successful since 1P was released nearly 20 years ago?

They didn't have an army of UX fuccbois back then. Now they do and this is an endless stream of makework to justify themselves.

You can ask the users. You can apply some common sense (which 1Password team increasingly doesn't). They can look at the support forums listing the many issues (especially with UX) which are condescendingly dismissed. Etc.
