This is disabled if you turn off telemetry in the settings, which users should already be doing anyway. I don't see this as any worse than what they already do.

which users should already be doing anyway.

Not necessarily. If you want to support the software it's generally a good idea to leave it on as it helps the devs find bugs and what features are needed and what existing features that are used.

Why would I disable telemetry when it can give valuable information for development purposes?

Capture everything you do on the browser 24/7 to machine-process it for "points"

vs

Simply asking for feedback or taking feedback directly on the points I'm interested, for example with a survey or Mozilla Connect

What points tho? Firefox doesn't give you any points for anything.
