This is honestly a nightmare for developers who rely on telemetry and metrics to identify issues and bugs that are otherwise "silent".

Just because your app doesn't throw errors doesn't mean the code isn't flawed and trapping users within a part of the experience that they cannot fix or leave.

I cant speak for every team in every company, but there's very little to no interest in "harvesting" your "data" for profit.

We just want to figure out what broke and how we correct it ASAP.

Yes, but the same thing could be said for outlawing encryption - that it's to make investigators jobs easier. However, that is easily abused.

Turns out to be the same thing for cookies. Why should I be ok with every Tom, Dick, and Harry gathering PII?

Of course. The well has been poisoned, and there's no way to know what any company's actually doing behind the scenes. I'm just lamenting that it had to come to this.
