Yeah, the biggest problem I have with Debian is that they tend to take popcon statistics as evidence.

No corporate installation ever adds popcon. Nobody sensitive to their privacy adds popcon. It's a small, self-selected group, and massively overrepresents desktops and laptops at the cost of servers.

Main problem with telemetry. The reverse is also true. Software that has it enabled by default will just get data from noobs, because more technical users will disable it. (Looking at Firefox)
