I don't have empathy for corporations and neither should you. Discord shows absolutely no empathy for its users anyways.

We're talking about a corporation handling our private communications, not a group of unpaid volunteers. Corporations act out of greed. That's the way capitalism works and we shouldn't pretend otherwise. Two decades ago, there were lots of empathy for the company that promised to "not be evil" and just look at how well that went. Accountability is what we should be pushing for, not empathy for those who abuse us.

The code in question supposedly gathers system information to send back to Discord. It's sensitive information gathered for Discord's own sake. Maybe, just maybe, they should be more aware of what their own code is doing at the very least when doing such things.
