Full disclaimer: I'm the PM for PowerShell Core. I'm a huge privacy advocate, but telemetry doesn't have to be a dirty word. With PowerShell Core, we went through an RFC process to define our telemetry goals and implementation[1], we publish our data to a public dashboard[2], and all of the telemetry source code is out there in the open[3]. Our telemetry enables to help drive prioritization and decisions around platform/OS usage, and disabling it as simple as setting an environment variable[4]. If there are any other ways we could make our telemetry implementation more palatable without seriously reducing its usefulness, we're absolutely open to suggestions.
