OP is entitled to make political choices when selecting software.

Some of us have specific principles of which things like opt-out telemetry might run afoul.

OP will choose their software, I choose mine and you choose yours; none of us need to call each other petty or otherwise cast such negative judgement; a free market is a free market.

Irrational white-knighting rather than principled discussions doesn't add value here.

Suggesting you should be less judgemental is not white-knighting, nor is it irrational. Sorry bud, but not everyone thinks the way you do, different people have different principles.

Feel free to explain how either of the two comments of yours I've replied to represent principled discussion or added value, because I'm not seeing it.
