This gets brought up all the time and what I can't figure out is why user interfaces have gotten worse over the last 10 years, even as developers have gathered unprecedented amounts of information from telemetry. Is the most common feedback developers get from telemetry "good, but needs more whitespace"?

I don't know, but I'm pretty sure telemetry is not making UI worse.

My point is it's not making it better. So what am I, a humble user, getting in return for sending potentially sensitive data to third parties?
