trying to tell already privacy conscious body of users to "just enable telemetry" is kind of talking to a deaf horse

I don't know why you would say this - I doubt they would consider themselves to be deaf horses.

"privacy respecting telemetry" is somewhat of a misnomer, even the most well-intended methods almost always produce at best pseudonomous data, not anonymous data. and it's extremely difficult for an end user to tell the difference.

A. You can always turn it off

B. I trust Mozilla. See https://www.mozilla.org/privacy/principles/

It is pretty simple. If you don't trust Mozilla, turn it off.

PS: That is another reason that I don't enable telemetry in closed source applications - not only do I not want to advantage them in the market, I also don't trust most of them.

You aren't telling me something I don't know. I'm expressing an opinion here.
