My personal objective with most situations is to discourage other people from enabling telemetry and then enabling it myself.
As a larger piece of the visible audience, I then hope that more attention is given me. This is especially important for open source projects. And I don't care that much about what the company is getting from me.
But listen, they collect all sorts of stuff and you should disable it unless you understand it. Ideally, privacy laws expand to the point where you need to email a signature saying you understand before you opt in to telemetry. Informed consent is required for any reasonable study.
