Telemetry exists to aid enshittification. Widely hated update that has loads of people complaining online but causes no change in usage? Keep it. Update causes dip in usage? Post generic “we hear your concerns” statement, backpedal slightly and try again in 6 months. Beloved feature is only actually utilised by 5% of your users? Get rid of it.

Beloved feature is only actually utilised by 5% of your users? I mean, there is a pretty strong argument that if 95% of users don’t use a function, then it is not actually beloved and just more of a niche thing that the vast majority don’t care about.
