> To be clear, I am only suggesting that the instrumentation be added to the Go command-line tools written and distributed by the Go team, such as the go command, the Go compiler, gopls, and govulncheck. I am not suggesting that instrumentation be added by the Go compiler to all Go programs in the world: that’s clearly inappropriate.

It doesn't seem like that is the proposal.

sure, it's not in this proposal. But if telemetry gets added to the compiler, the logical next step is to push it to the next level. And before you downvote me let me state this: the question is not wether this will happen, but when this will happen.

When has this happened before with other programming languages?

Few years back a certain Redmond company shipped C++ compiler update that was producing actual binaries with telemetry. IIRC it got reverted after an outcry.
