With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

That's not a realistic worry for the world's most used browser platform. There are three Billion with a B Chrome users. 3,000,000,000

Even if 99% of users disabled telemetry they would still have a telemetry base of 30 million. And I would guess it's closer to 90% telemetry enabled right now since most people do not change browser defaults.
