if only it had no telemetry. Try opening wireshark with firefox running and you will see how much of a noisyboi it is
Telemetry can be disabled by a couple of config entries.
You're making parent commenter's point stronger.

So not only it is on by default, but it also requires a couple of config entries to disable.

Don’t see how. If there is too much telemetry, there is only two options: it can or it cannot be disabled via config. Very unlikely someone complaining about telemetry opted into telemetry on purpose… hence, the fact it can be disabled is “good news in the bad news”.
Still, if you are unhappy with it, you have a way to opt out. Unlike in many other cases.
