I understand the counterargument, and (frankly, unfortunately) the counterargument is well-supported by the numbers. Approximately nobody does this or anything like it. Ignoring the hackernews crowd is a high-percentage decision, and I not-so-secretly believe that the real reason that a lot (not all but a lot) of that crowd's protracted animus towards telemetry has nothing to do with privacy and everything to do with the fact that telemetry produces evidence their opinions don't matter.
But... at some point there's a threshold; at some point an edge case becomes a leading-edge case.
This was one of the core lessons I learned working with the Flow team - any one absolute number won't show what you want, you have to be able to see motion and context.
