I would be thrilled if MS (and Apple, for that matter) would divest themselves of all advertising-related business units and declare themselves explicitly anti-user-advertising, but to me that seems largely orthogonal to telemetry, despite the fact that their current legalese has put the two into a blender.

I can be anti-advertising and pro-privacy without being anti-telemetry.

Just as long as you understand MS will be using the telemetry data for advertising and marketing purposes (in addition to the more helpful purposes you are expecting).
