The average user also has no idea what/how much information is contained in those automated reports. If you are just sending a build ID and a stack trace, sure. If you are sending memory dumps (even partial) or associating those stack dumps with identifying information (e.g. steam IDs) then you really should be asking for informed consent before you do that. And no, it being a common practice to just collect as much information as you can does not make it an OK practice.
