No, it's not fine. It's a big danger and large security hole. There is no good purpose for telemetry, it is needed only for malicious purposes, like collecting your private data, selling it and share to ad spammers, scammers and criminals, all without your consent.
You know how they doing it, first they collecting your private data and convince you that this is completely 100% safe, they said that it will be stored it in a very secure and super duper protected storage facility. Then one day it will be stolen by some anonymous hackers and appears on paid black web database. And they said "oh sorry, shit happens, we will work better to avoid it in future"... So, all your private data appears available for all criminals all around the world and none responsible for that...
Some of them even don't hide that they collecting and share your private data, they just said that this data will be collected and shared anonymously, but they don't tell you that it will include a lot of unique ids which allows to de-anonymize your private data very easily.
