Maybe instead of ubiquitous stupidity-tqxax telemetry we could have some neo-Nielsen families and get to pick a roughly representative sample out of voluntary, compensated users. A trusted third party contracts the victims and agregates the data. Don't ask me who regulates or pays though.

And why wouldn't it be Nielsen :) I remember when they sent me cash in the mail as a kid, fun times.

They still do that. Just a few weeks ago my daughter filled out their survey and got $5!

That's so cool, mine was about 30 years ago. I had no idea they were still doing this!
