Opt-out telemetry is also not ok for product decisions. It's a dark pattern that shows no respect for user privacy.

Assume no PII, what's the difference? What do you mean by dark pattern?
It may not work correctly, and there's some risk there, but it's pretty low risk. A poor implementation may cause UX regressions, but the company have incentive to not do that.
Because I value my privacy, period.

After 20+ years in the industry, I've never once seen this to be the case. I can't think of a single product that used telemetry that I'd consider to be of high quality. It has always been a sign that there's no captian on the ship though.

I'm unwilling to take on any risk to prop up a poorly run product team.
tl;dr If we roll this out to customers, we'll be asking for consent, and won't be collecting telemetry data unless we have it.
