On the contrary, I'd argue that the tracing visibility you're looking at isn't inherently a software trait at all. It's a deployment feature, which is something you address at-cost when building a product, but almost never when building FOSS software. It's not that people in FOSS don't see that upsides to it, it's that those upsides are insignificant relative to the cost of sustained market research. It's easier to just... make stuff, and have companies plaster over the gaps when their interests align.
Nothing wrong with what they've done here, but we already had most of these metrics. Nothing was really learned, and it took Red Hat and a few thousand users to get here. For smaller-scale projects, imagine how much smaller the returns would be.
Look at GNOME, which recently pushed for it's users to contribute telemetry: https://linuxiac.com/gnome-survey-results/
