Yes, I believe they own all the endpoints, so I'm fine that they're doing the telemetry at all. But if the method they had in mind for doing the telemetry doesn't require that they do, then I'm opposed to that method in particular.
You get that Intel can make the same argument about sealed remote attestation protocols embedded in their chipset, right? You don't tolerate that argument when it's your network hosting sealed protocols, but you do when it's other people's. That's a strange position.
