Microsoft has faced so much criticism for their approach to telemetry - I don't really understand why they don't at least provide the option to opt out of all telemetry.

If they left it enabled by default, but provided an option to opt-out, realistically only a small segment of users would do so, and most of them would likely be power users who are already taking other steps to try to prevent telemetry being collected and/or sent. So they'd take an insignificant hit to telemetry, but would gain a lot in goodwill.

Any reason not to do this?
