This type of canned response doesn't sit well with me. Keep us posted when you're out of beta and those things are removed, do you have a timeline for that?
you need to realise is that if you don't do this "by tomorrow", the momentum will be lost and no HN'er will ever use your product, because they will forever associate it with tracking
This is already being brought up in multiple slack networks I'm on, with the general consensus being that these decisions make the company impossible to trust.
rust's rustup planned to add telemetry - they had a config for it (but never ended up doing so). It still affected me and how I viewed the program. These things stick around. I think they are safely without telemetry now (but they "obviously" ping home to look for updates).
You really should take people's advice in beta. Get rid of telemetry before tomorrow. If you don't this terminal will likely fail. It might be too late already.
