Meaning that they don't collect telemetry, or that they DO collect telemetry and it's not mentioned?
There is a setting to disable telemetry, unclear what this means though.
many users turn off that telemetry, including me.
AFAIK telemetry can be disabled with "telemetry.enableTelemetry": false
Yes, but you can also opt-out to the telemetry in the settings.
There's a menu setting to disable telemetry.
sending telemetry data is optional and I believe it is opt-in instead of opt-out, plus it can be fully disabled
Maybe too many power user disabled the telemetry :)
No. This announcement does not include a way to opt-out of telemetry.
Perhaps such users tend to disable telemetry
