What is a “crash report”? Is it just a log saying that the machine crashed? Is it a core dump? Is there PII in the logs? Does it expose information that is protected by law? It’s not the fact that there’s telemetry, it’s that it wasn’t communicated well so people can mitigate risks. This shows that there isn’t a culture of paying attention to this sort of thing over business intelligence.

I respectfully disagree. It is also the fact that there's telemetry. It is not OK for me to punch you in the face just because I tell you I'm going to do it first. You shouldn't have to mitigate that risk. The risk wouldn't exist if I weren't punching you in the face.
