From a technical perspective, I'm not quite so bothered by what data Mozilla collects about me, how often, &c. I'm happy to opt-in to Telemetry and don't mind if it's extremely "comprehensive" in what it measures.
The real issue here is with ethos and perspective. I use Firefox because the ethos of the company and its employees, and their general "take" on issues like this allows (or has allowed) me a general sense of trust in them.
Even the very existence of this discussion erodes that trust. This says to me "the people making this browser don't understand the importance of consent, and have a vastly different perspective on the value of privacy to mine".
If your developers need more data from Telemetry, get consent and collect more data. Establish trust in users in what you do with that data.
