This is AFTER debloating all the MS bs as much as I can.

The amount of MS telemetry is just mindboggling.

Telemetry, in the context of software development and UX design, is either a decision by the misinformed or just an excuse to save costs by axing the Windows QA department.

That's very silly. That's actually such a ridiculous opinion I'm pretty sure you've left out some assumption that would make it make sense.

Telemetry is useful, but there is no accountability on how it's being used, so ultimately it could be used in bad faith and the average user wouldn't ever know.
