I see a lot of confused comments blaming Microsoft, so to clarify: This analysis is about TRAE, a ByteDance IDE that was forked from VSCode: https://www.trae.ai/

Arguably it was Microsoft who started the whole trend of calling spyware "telemetry" to obfuscate what they were doing.

I can't prove it, but I think that's untrue. Anecdotally, I've only heard MS using it in the last 10 years or so, and it's been pretty common terminology for years before that.

Last 10 years is right - Windows 10 was when they went all-in, and that was released in 2015. Before that, "telemetry" usually referred to situations where the same entity owned both ends of the data collection, so "consent" wasn't even necessary.
