The amount of MS telemetry is just mindboggling.
Sure it's scummy, but it's definitely not hidden. When you open the settings page Data Collection is a top level option
It's hidden in the fact it's not presented upon first startup, it never mentions it, and it's at the very bottom of the settings page.

It's interesting. I always get a pop-up asking about opting in for sending telemetry when installing Firefox. It was never hidden or the option selected for me. I opt out and it stays opted out.
