Another big difference, though, is that VSCode's telemetry is publicly documented.

So, regardless of what they're able to collect, I know what they are collecting, and how personally identifiable it is, and I know that it's pretty tame compared to what I've seen elsewhere.

Ah, that is a fair point. I hadn't looked at what they collect, I was just speculating about what they could collect if desired.
