If you have a website, you want to collect statistical data on which browsers are accessing your website and test for the best experiences on the top browsers.
that sounds nice, but history has shown thats never what happens.
what REALLY happens is the most popular browser and even version is determined, and anything thats not that doesn't get tested, and eventually breaks. its the pinnacle of lazy programming. "lets use telemetry so that we can point to data that allows us to make software thats as brittle as possible".
