This is a systemic problem on Microsoft's side, it's not an upside of telemetry.

To be clear, I consent to send telemetry from some of the tools I use and deploy.

Their common pattern? They wait a bit, and ask nicely about whether I want to participate. Also, the dialog box asking the question defaults to off.

I read the fine print, look a the data they push, ponder and decide whether I'm cool with it or not.

Give me choice, be upfront and transparent. Then we can have a conversation.
