i'd be surprised if the inability to submit telemetry is a hard error that crashes the program
There are definitely slightly annoying variants of this of "ah the program does its job in 200ms but takes 5s to shutdown timing out trying to send telemetry data". Especially annoying on CLI programs.
I have been unpleasantly surprised by several programs outright crashing when not being able to send telemetry data consistently. Though this has usually been when the connection is a bit odd and it is able to send through _some_ stuff but then crashes when it fails later.
