IP address and domain name count mean nothing. Why would you care if windows pinged 1 Microsoft domain vs 20,000. If they are all controlled by the same entity and send the same data, these numbers mean nothing.

Ok so if we all send data to azure it's safe or to ovh that's just fine.

It's not terrifying but it does reveal the scale, this isn't a licence check against something like genuine.microsoft.com this is a completely different scale all together
