Debian popularity contest has been around for a long time, but the installer on the ISO offers the option to not install it. I opt in now because of the hoopla over wayland and SSH X11 forwarding. I do not opt in to any Mozilla data collection unless it's absolutely necessary like the problem last year that fast tracked the solution under studies. Some server connections can require pre-connection testing for load distribution. Maybe Zorin's servers are potentially becoming over-loaded, or they are looking for a usage guideline number compared to bandwidth to project for the future. Obviously they should have asked. They probably considered it trivial (had no interest in user data, only usage, potential load) and did not build an opt in into the ISO. Dumb but not MS evil.
