Don't you understand that the default shouldn't be changed at all in this case? It improves nothing and affects every single user. If an org/project wants this behavior then it can enforce this flag for its contributions. The only valid reason for this change is someone's performance somewhere in Microsoft is dependent on VS Copilot usage metric.

Good feedback, there needs to be a more explicit opt-in into this for teams that want it. FWIW nobody's performance here will improve from having this metric :-)

It's even more frightening if so. Meaning you really thought it's something users wanted.
