MODERATORS
To know what features people are using, how fast it's running, know what hardware and where it's being used, and to try to investigate crashing issues? Telemetry doesn't only mean knowing where you live or who you're banging.
None of those things are what's being discussed here, or what GP asked about. As stated in the article, this is about categorizing people's searches.
Because that allows them to sell the default search engine spot for more; the more you know about an audience the more it’s worth, even this high up the food chain.
