Telemetry alone doesn't tell you how valuable a given functionality is. A critical problem, one imposed through the tyranny of the minimum viable user,[1] is that the high value creator community of any tool or service is going to be small. Quite often 1%, if a very small fraction of that.

Your telemetry data will show you only that such features see little use. They won't tell you how much value is derived from that use, or what the effects of removing such functionality will be on the suitability and viability of your application.

Default telemetry is demonstrable harm for negative gains.
