People paint this as a bad thing but wouldn’t directly reporting the UUID from the DMI info be far worse?

(Kinda amazed they just didn’t to that instead)

It would be about as bad, although nothing, AFAIK, actually systematically sends it as telemetry.

This GDID is essentially a similar concept though, but not as hardware tied, but is reported in telemetry.
