You're doing it again.

"Telemetry" doesn't have spyware connotations. You choose to view it as such. Telemetry means taking remote measurements.

OpenTelemetry facilitates this. It doesn't facilitate Github installing spyware on your system. It's an internal tool. Something you'd understand, even as someone unfamiliar with it, if you would actually have paid any attention to the article.

And OpenTelemetry IS in fact open source, so your argument, confusing as it is, falls flat on that too.

Note that it's very hard to give you the benefit of the doubt when you're so incredibly hostile to a word you've chosen to view as bad, it sounds like telemetry is just a trigger word for you.
