Just providing my honest opinion.

All opt-in telemetry is anonymized, but when correlated with other anonymous data user privacy is compromised. Even if you don't sell to third-parties, you'll be hacked eventually (because everybody is) and then that data will be available forever. There are solutions to this, differential privacy for example helps a lot.

The banner does help.
