Do you have any reason to believe that Wayland users are more likely than X users to enable telemetry?
The reason Wayland users might be more likely to opt into telemetry is because they see Wayland as "developing" and therefore needing that user data for development purposes. I have no idea what the incidence would actually be, but there is certainly a potential selection bias in there.
Nothing solid. It would be entertaining if it were the opposite. But unless we have a really good reason to think we know which way it leans, the unknown unknown means I wouldn't want to trust the numbers.
On a distro with wayland as the default, users are probably defaulting to allowing telemetry as well. (maybe? Just a guess ...)
KDE telemetry is strictly opt-in, it is something that you are prompted for during the first setup wizard.
