> I'm curious why corporate development teams always feel the need to spy on their users?

I've repeatedly talked about this on HN; I call it Marketing Driven Development. It's when some Marketing manager goes to your IT manager and starts asking for things that no customer wants or needs, so they can track if their initiatives justify their job, aka are they bringing in more people to x feature?

Honestly, with something as sensitive as software developer tools, I think any sort of telemetry should ALWAYS be off by default.
