T3 Code telemetry controversy: Theo defends opt-out via environment variable

Developer @uwukko criticized T3 Code's built-in telemetry that could not be disabled via UI, noting his PR adding an opt-out was auto-closed. Theo responded that closures were due to 800+ daily PRs and that telemetry can be fully disabled via an environment variable, which @uwukko argued is too hidden for ordinary users.
