They don't need to auto-report because the system takes care of that: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CrashReporting https://developer.fedoraproject.org/tools/abrt/about.html and others.

I wouldn't call it auto-reporting when the user has to agree first; consent is the sticking point. (Same for abrt) (granted, I should have been more precise and I suppose that is automated in a sense; I took "automatic" to mean "without asking")

It's almost like you can ask your users to help with automated one-touch bug report submissions, instead of taking the data without asking.
