We could go to our EU representatives and ask for them to make it mandatory. Though I suspect it'll go down the same way as the GDPR, at least at first.

(Lessons have already been learned of course)

We really just need a clarification/ruling that ANY telemetry is not essential to providing a service and thus requires informed consent before it can be collected and consent cannote be required to use the service. And then enforcement against all these applications.

I don't think adding technical layers to block these data leaks is going to work long term.
