Re: Telemetry
Look. All the "Marketing Geniuses" (oxymoron alert!) and GUI "Designers" (probable oxymoron alert) Micros~1 hires these days are are classic ADHD-addled Millennials (and possibly some Gen Z'ers fresh outta school) who:
1) Think they are ghod's gift to the world
2) Think every thought that passes through their minds is The One True Way, and must therefore be right
3) Were born with silver smartphones in their mouths, so that is all they know (see also item 2)
So, they must make everything they encounter look like a cell phone interface...it is inconceivable to them that anything else could possibly exist.
Almost forgot: 2a) Anything that happened before the were born doesn't exist, and therefore isn't real. (I actually had a Millennial tell me that once... and it was clear they believed it!)
