Except there already is a welcome screen that gives a "choice" (between quotes) about sending telemetry or not, if I remember correctly.

This however does not prevent sending telemetry. In fact, telemetry is sent to MS before the user has a choice about sending telemetry.

So whether you agree that telemetry is useful for understanding a product and so on (a whole separate discussion), the fact that the user does not have a real choice IS user hostile.

The user should have a real choice here.
