I don't see much difference in the current version, and the anonymized data that you can't opt out of seems mostly to do with crash reports. It's laid out in this article, and although I'd prefer a full off option, it's not any worse than Windows and does respect choices after updates.

I don't even disable everything, but the option should always be there.
