I highly disagree. I think the majority of people who would pay money for a barebones ffmpeg wrapper don't care about telemetry.

Privacy should be the default, not something that is done only when users care enough to fight back.

I agree with you to a point. The problem is that if most people turn it off, then developing the telemetry system was a huge waste of time and resources for not much gain. Valuable data that could have been used to improve the program without any extra work from others may be lost.

Similar to Windows forcing users to update because most of them keep putting it off forever, hurting their own security.

Which users asked for devs to focus on developing a telemetry system (vs developing the app they bought)?
