I wonder how legal it is to advertise support for user supplied DNS and phone home ignoring the setting.

Debian and Raspian both exhibit similar behavior (albeit, by fall-backing in-OS to the DHCP-supplied DNS server, unless you specifically disable this [e.g. by entering the DNS-IP into all DNS1 DNS2 fields]).
Curiously, a Pi-Hole (fresh bash install), intended to allow DNS control, also reaches out to the DHCP-supplied DNS (which can be annoying, if e.g. you have cascading PiHoles and one goes rogue on a subnet, using the local/undesired DNS resolver).

I remember when software was simple; even back in 2011, Microsoft Office installers were still "opt-in to data collection" – now-a-days, even open-source miracles like TrueNAS hide the data collection option deep in the GUI settings (wtf?!?! other than for monies).
