Who's being deceived? As GP points out, it's in the privacy policy: "For pre-release and free versions of the software, users cannot opt out of usage data collection."
There isn't enough time in the day to read all the privacy policies and terms of service for all the things that we use. Just because something is written in the small print does not magically make it OK.
I agree mostly, but come on, whenever a big company like MS, Google etc puts this in privacy policy, anyone on HN learns about this pretty quick,and tbh I don't think anyone will upgrade to paid version for preventing basic usage data collection
