.NET core spies on users by default

I know that this subject is super important to some people on this site, but it literally tells you when you execute the command how to turn it off.

Also, the thread seems to have people from MS (the core team) actively soliciting feedback and wanting to work with users. They published a blog post before they started collecting telemetry, so it wasn't unannounced.

There are lots of ways that this could be worse. Maybe we shouldn't slap their hand when they are doing a pretty good job?

I can see how this is still completely unacceptable if you are a privacy maximalist, but most people aren't.

There is no real evidence that something substantive is coming out of this feature. It definitely seems to be doing more harm than good.

What do you base that on?
