I think it is more of the fact, that OS will be shipped with remote monitoring built in. <sarcasm> Privacy advocates everywhere rejoice. </sarcasm>

Windows has had telemetry since forever (well since at least XP). It has gone by several names including "The Windows Feedback Program" (Windows 7).

I really do not see how telemetry is same as feedback. One is proactive constant monitoring with automatic data collection and second is reactive report submission that asks every time before sending report.
