So instead we get a panopticon where everything we do is watched and can be used to sell stuff to us, profile us, and train AI models using our data so someone else can monetize it. Then there's the security nightmare this represents where secrets can leak via telemetry.
That's not a good trade.
The tests are the map, the actual use of the language is the terrain. The map is assembled largely by blindly guessing what the terrain is likely to look like.
That isn't very scientific.
The result is a situation where users will scream at the language authors if they break something, but they'll refuse to share any information about what they're actually doing with the language, which is perverse.
