Game developers benefit tremendously from streams where they get to see peoples webcams _and_ screens as they use their software.

This would be _absolutely insane_ telemetry to request from a user for any other piece of software, but it would be fantastically useful in identifying where people get frustrated and why.

That said, I do not trust Microsoft with any telemetry, I am not invested in helping them improve their product, and I am happy not to rely on the GitHub CLI.



You can get this level of observation by paying testers (both professions as well as existing users who provide informed consent). You don't get to just spy on random users, yes.
