The entire nature of self hosted is that it is for companies or people who want more control. It’s Seems ill advised and unlikely for gitlab to force telemetry on those users.

I would have thought that the way they rolled this out was obviously so ill-advised that they wouldn't have been likely to do it, but they did.
Also, they initially were going to include the self-hosted installations in this as well, but backed off due to the outcry. So even though it's also obviously a bad idea, they were provably likely to do it, because that was their explicit plan.
