If they had used that telemetry to realise that maybe just maybe people tended to use the same mode and it might be an idea to store it and reapply it on launch then I could see a point to the telemetry. But they aren't even using it to solve the problems their users have, it is just data collection for collections sake if the applications aren't improving!

It always has stored the last used mode here. Does it not do that for you? Smells like a bug if it doesn't.

If only we had some sort of telemetry to identify this possible bug and address it...

Do you suppose loyalty card telemetry is used to improve the customer's shopping experience?

Or do you suspect it might possibly be used for other purposes?

At least loyalty cards give something in exchange, a discount, a free item etc.

Software telemetry only gives us headaches
