You know, except for handling over that juicy telemetry data!

Yes, that is sort of a string attached, but I’m not sure it has any real cost. Has anyone ever been harmed or even inconvenienced by VS Code telemetry? I usually turn it off, but it doesn’t actually make any difference to me. Seems like it’s just politics.
