We use the telemetry data as input to many product and business decisions. It is very important.

If that was entirely true, then better communication with users would probably be the ideal substitute for it.

Those are in no way substitutes for each other -- you have to do both. People are not able to self-report accurate measurement data, and telemetry data can't tell you anything about what a person wants or why they do things.

Product decisions I can kind of see, but what kind of business decisions are you talking about?
