Am i the only one that finds

    System Information: Hardware specs, OS details, architecture
    Usage Patterns: Active time, session duration, feature usage

I don't want any program on my computer including the OS to make any network calls whatsoever unless they're directly associated with executing GUI/CLI interactions I have currently undertaken as the user. Any exception should be opt-in. IMHO the entire Overton window of these remote communications is in the wrong place.

> Yeah but this is industry standard

we don't have to accept it. but people say "it's just how we do it" and suddenly people just accept it.

i really feel like our society is going to collapse soon, if it hasn't already begun to. the amount of total crap that people are put through just so that ads can be more targeted to users. we are creating a hellscape for privacy and freedom just so people click on ads. it is pure and complete insanity, and no one cares.
