Am i the only one that finds

    System Information: Hardware specs, OS details, architecture
    Usage Patterns: Active time, session duration, feature usage
    Performance Metrics: Response times, resource consumption
    Unique Identifiers: Machine ID, user ID, device fingerprints
    Workspace Details: Project information, file paths (obfuscated)

"file paths (obfuscated)" -- this is likely enough for them to work out who the user is, if they work on open source software. They get granular timing data and the files the user has edited, which they could match with open source PRs in their analytics pipeline.

I suspect they aren't actually doing that, but the GDPR cares not what you're doing with the data, but what is possible with it, hence why any identifier (even "obfuscated") which could lead back to a user is considered PII.
