So if a random visitor asks for my wifi password, I can prevent it from being sent to Microsoft?
Not to mention a bunch of stuff (Do Not Track) that is set by default that has been explicitly enabled (or disabled, depending on defaults) to look worse. You can argue about whether you should have an "opt-in" for some of these things at all, yes, but this image makes it look like many things are opt-out, when they are in fact opt-in.
Telemetry is the same diagnostics that OS X and even Linux Mint and other distributions do.
