It sends telemetry as part of the installation, too. It is implementing a deliberately dark pattern as well. It should be an option presented right at the installer screen, _and_ should be default to opt-out.
Here I don't agree. It should be certainly be visible, so you can make an informed decision whether or not to use it. But it's a sad fact of human nature how little we are willing to contribute back even when people give us something for free, even if just a click away (not to mention paying a small amount, filling a bug report...)
