Which is an artificial restriction from MS that's really easily bypassed.

Personally I don't care whether the telemetry is identifiable. I just don't want it.

There's a whitelist identifier that you can add bundle IDs to, to get access to the more sensitive APIs. Then you can download the extension file and install it manually. I don't have the exact process right now but just Google it :)

It is not just a technical limitation, it is a license limitation too, for what it is worth.

To switch the extension market place to the non-free one, some URLs need to be swapped in a product.JSON file, as in this script: https://github.com/fsfw-dresden/usb-live-linux/commit/3e4fd4...
