> Let's make software more inefficient (even if it's tiny, it all adds up!)
I'm not sure if you know who the author of that blog is, but if there's anyone in the world who cares about (and is knowledgeable about) improving performance, it's him. You can be pretty darn sure he wouldn't do this if he believed it would make software more inefficient.

You're confusing things with the analogy. The invasiveness of telemetry is collateral damage, not failure to meet its primary objective (gathering useful data for debugging, spying on people, whatever you think it is). In this case his primary objective literally is to improve performance... which aligns with your own goal, and which he has successfully demonstrated in the past.
Your argument is poor, because it relies on a bootless analogy to something unrelated.
It's not invasive.
