    They justify their telemetry as it helps them to decide, “the best places to allocate dev time to improve the platform.”

    IMO, this info almost never necessary to help improve the platform. Usually if a feature isn’t well used, it will get less dev time, ignoring the fact that it mght be less used because it isn’t well implemented. The converse could also happen, they allocate dev time to a feature that isn’t well used to try and make it more used, which might ignore the fact that it is quite frankly a useless feature.
