As people below have already added their comments, I just want to give my two cents. This is not PR bullshit, but the Focus team can consider asking users on first run.

This private browser, having been using it since beta on iOS, is nothing more than just a private browsing window like the one offered in Desktop version (I am not here to debate the technical implementation since I do not know).

Telemetry does not break privacy. Privacy is a contract between the user and the product creator. In this case, Mozilla offers opt-out and does its best effort to document. User has the right to opt out or even choose not to use the software.

To me, this is a positive user feedback, but not some PR bullshit (frustration I get it). When someone says your session is private under TLS, well, your IP and user-agent are almost guaranteed captured in server logs, but you can choose to believe/not believe the service provider promises in the respective ToS.
