I don't know why they would do it, apart from the obvious that it allows some tracking. Here's some more detail I managed to find on it (from /e/OS development): https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/backlog/-/issues/5765 . At least it seems the IMEI is not included (at least in this specific example), but a serial number and a bunch of other information about the phone is.
