> I don't understand how you got from "there are scenarios where telemetry can get information that you cannot get by talking to users, here is one example" to "experimenting on non-consenting humans". What is the connection?

The connection is clear if your salary doesn't require you to not understand it.

Developers don't opt-in to telemetry? Maybe it's because they don't want to enable that telemetry, your experiments be damned.

Use proper engineering to demonstrate that your scripts work instead of demanding that users be your free software test team.

This telemetry is not about demonstrating that scripts work, as I have said to you multiple times.
