Clearly, there exist scenarios where device owners have a legitimate need for no communication with MS regarding device activity, but that's not generally the case for the average PC user

Do you really believe yourself to be the ultimate arbiter of that question, for all PC users? Or just for the average ones?

I meant that observationally, the average home user I see who is hell-bent against Windows telemetry doesn't have reasons for it that are comparable to organizations with well-reasoned processes and procedures regarding telemetry.

I didn't mean to imply that said user shouldn't have the option to disable telemetry, even for no reason at all.
