It does not really matter anymore how bulk usage data collection is called or whether it is "privacy-preserving".

Looking at the current developments in AI, I am concerned that AI models can easily de-anonymize and guess end point users when being fed with "telemetry data" of hundreds of thousands clients.

I hear a lot and read a lot of software and hardware vendors saying that "telemetry" is supposed to somehow magically improve the user experience in the long run, but in actuality software tends to get worse, unstable and less useful.

So, I would like to know how exactly any telemetry data from Fedora Linux clients is going to help them, or how is it going to improve anything.
