I'm willing to bet they'll start adding telemetry features in RPiOS for "quality purposes" a few years from now.
They already have that proprietary and opaque GPU that has full memory access akin to the Intel ME, and its programming is very difficult to audit. There has been something quite fishy about them ever since they left their educational mission behind after the Pi 1 and went for-profit.
Isn't the GPU documented now?
