I really appreciate this point, and I think it applies very broadly. Good design comes from a coherent, individual (or group) vision. Citing examples will only incite discussions, because everyone has a different needs and ideas, but the things I most appreciate in tech and art share this common aspect.

As I see it, relying on excessive telemetry, surveys, focus-groups, etc is a bit of an indication that nobody at the top has a strong idea of where to take the project.

Which is strange coming from ~Go~ Google. The community loudly demanded features for years which ~Go~ Google said were unnecessary (dependency management, monotonic time, etc). Weird to think that telemetry would do anything to change their opinions when the project has always done what it wants.
