They kind of do. Pop-con (popularity contest) is in Debian to track package usage. https://popcon.debian.org/

LVFS also has some: https://lvfs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/telemetry.html

This page from Debian Wiki may be interesting to see what all is out there: https://wiki.debian.org/PrivacyIssues

The thing I like about popcon is it's opt-in, and disabled by default.

I enable it on my personal production systems and disable on everything else, both on privacy grounds (work), and not providing wrong data (disposable VMs).
