There's another interesting aspect of having something on the machine

installation. It's much more reliable about reporting something in that
sense, rather than collecting stats from mirrors and download sites.
It also reports the act - "I'm using it" instead of "I downloaded it."
And last, in some ways it's a lot less nefarious than tracking
downloads. It's a result of a positive act on part of the user, as
opposed to tracking on the backend without any kind of positive assent
from the user.
as long as it is not brought in as an automatic dependency, I agree.
Might be as simple as the home page for the browser. Or part of firstboot.
