A related anecdote: Firefox disabled ALSA support because their telemetry showed nobody was using it, but it turned out that the kind of people who use ALSA are also the kind of people who disable as much telemetry as possible:<p><a href="https://chuttenblog.wordpress.com/2020/11/05/data-science-is-hard-alsa-in-firefox/" rel="nofollow">https://chuttenblog.wordpress.com/2020/11/05/data-science-is...</a><p>Disabling telemetry is like refusing to register to vote: you minimise the chance of people doing bad things to you, but you also minimise the chance of people doing good things for you. Maybe that trade-off is worth it for you, maybe it isn't, but don't complain that the trade-off exists and don't get annoyed that other people choose differently.
