> I remember when using download statistics was enough.
No download statistics are currently available for Julia packages. That's essentially the issue that the Pkg.jl telemetry is trying to address.

As much as people in the Julia community have dunked on Matlab in the past, at least MathWorks has their business model worked out, people understand the tradeoffs being made, and the dark pattern being used is just closed source software instead of exploiting PII.
They have no special access nor do I see a first order effect that benefits them. Just that the open source Julia ecosystem will benefit and that will feed back into JC's market.
