Tenacity is distinct in more fundamental ways that just not being copyright infringement (for one, it uses a different GUI toolkit and is way slower and buggier), so its appeal at this point isn't closely related to whether people like Muse or not.

Would be nice with a fork which followed Audacity closely but without the telemetry. (Like VS Codium I suppose.)

This fork exists and it's called Audacity. Audacity doesn't have any telemetry, the PR never got merged. And any online functionality it does have (automatic update checking, crash reporting) can be turned off.

Perhaps remove the "Share Audio" ~~ad~~ button in the toolbar?

Feel free to! View > Toolbars > Share Audio toolbar disables it. Compiling from source has it disabled by default.
