Most people would probably be okay with it if it were opt-in and clearly explained what it would be collecting (including letting you see exactly the contents if you'd like), perhaps letting you decide at a granular level what to upload. Upon encountering an error, you could also trigger a dialog to ask if the user would like to upload information (with "yes", "no", "always", and "never" as options).

What people don't like is that lots of modern tech employees apparently don't understand consent, and just assume it's okay to spy on you and take whatever personal data they want.
