Sure, we made your Wi-Fi routers phone home with telemetry, says Ubiquiti. What of it?

"They ALL call home."

This is not true in the sense that you're implying, and even if it were, it's beside the point. A lot of those do, of course, but a lot of them do the right thing and get your informed consent first. Mobile devices aside, very few of them engage in sneaky and mandatory reporting.

"What's more important is what information is being carried"

What's even more important than that is getting informed consent before doing data collection. I don't care if the data collected is actually 100% innocuous, if you're doing it without my informed consent, you deserve to be widely condemned.
