You're grasping at straws with this argument. That it shares a thread is a technicality. I'm sure the socket management is asynchronous and telemetry wouldn't normally affect normal traffic. This was an infinite loop bug. What if it had been a memory corruption bug instead, would you be saying that telemetry needs to be a separate process, not just a separate thread? The design was reasonable. Dumb bugs can happen anyway and cause things not to work as designed. That's what happened here.
