Indeed. And since they are very open as to what they collect, feel free to point out anything disturbing.
As for the publicly posted results, it seems to me like they try to understand who uses their products and how. That's not worse than basic website analytics, and that's data they certainly need in order to prioritise their development.
But I may be missing your point. Can you point to a specific datapoint in those documents that you object to, and explain why?
When they post full csv files with all kinds of command line arguments including typos, who's to know your "dotnet run fix-aspycts-bankrupcy-account" command, where you forgot the first "run" argument, won't end up in a csv some day?
I can't believe I have to argue about how bad it is to have CLI tools send their arguments as telemetry. Even half-arsed lately introduced attempts at redaction doesn't change the fact that the entire mindset of the developers are poison.
