Again: telemetry isn't "spying" and it isn't "bugging" the application. It collects usage patterns: how often is which button being pressed by which type of user.

It is not collecting data on you personally nor is it collecting the actual data you enter.

Of course the question remains if a company has "maskAllImages: true, maskAllTextInputs: true" (and I also wonder if they hide UI elements like message titles / contents), but that's why I mentioned I only turn on telemetry for companies that seem to explicitly, consistently and robustly care about privacy and security.
