Think I'll stick to DataGrip personally, though I'd be interested to see some performance benchmarks to disprove my own comprehension of the quality of apps built primarily in HTML/JS/Electron.

Surely you don't use gmail or any other webmail or a web service?
Under the most charitable interpretation of the above, the Telegraph meant what it said, and only ever intended to use the data thus collected to optimize HVAC output to only those areas with enough human activity to warrant it.
But, you see, once they had the data about who was at their desk and who wasn't, it behooves them to act on it.
But why wait for evidence when posting "Micro$oft is evil" is more fun?
VS Code seems to have driven a lot of improvement to features most important to users based on this data.
But that’s not at all what they said. The argument they used applies to anyone collecting data. Just like in the example they used.
And while you are right about the privacy policy stating what the data is used for, what is there to prevent companies from changing their privacy policy at any point in time? And if they change it, are they required to inform you that the privacy policy has changed?
For Europeans there is the GDPR.
This is also one of the things that AFAIK should be covered by the GDPR (contrary to the cookie banners with opt out that I personally expect will get their punishments soon.)
Desktop apps are offline and so this is just gross. Make the app good by having a vision and employing domain experts, not trying to drive button click metrics or whatever.

I remember the file menu operations being hidden behind the round logo in the upper left corner.
The Microsoft ones are pretty good, for me at least :)
It's a developers tool
Remember, this behaviour (even if it is explicitly mentioned in the EULA) used to be called spyware and tools were created to detect and remove such things. Then the big companies caught on and spun it in the "but it's for the users!" direction, and now it's harmless? I see the "if you're using this and Azure you should trust Microsoft already" point, but this is presumably software that isn't for just interacting with Azure.
Given the sort of data that usually resides in databases, an application for interacting with them that will occasionally make connections out into the Internet just triggers suspicion regardless.

Seriously, even if performance of JS has been dragged kicking and screaming in to the 21st century now, the huge memory footprint of these abominations feels utterly wrong to me.
