I had the same idea for a long time.
The current information about telemetry is not enough and does not hold up to
the open and transparent character of FOSS.
What is this detailed usage information I would share on my highest setting?
Would it contain that pronhub is the most used website while private browsing?
Will it share the names of my image gallery folders including the one named "Me
doing illegal stuff"?
One big reason why people don't opt-in to telemetry is because they have no
idea what they share. Nobody cares if KDE had their version of OpenGL, what
their default browser is, what CPU or GPU they have or what their screen size
is. What they care about is sharing information they would consider private.
Right now there is no easy way to show the information that is sent to the dev
team.
GNOME recently published a telemetry that displays all the data sent in the
terminal. That is a good step forward, but the average user does not want to
fire up the terminal to show that. You need to provide a link to that
information right from where you change the setting.
I would suggest that the shared data is listed in a html file so you can use
your browser to display that information. Such a file should not only include
what information is shared but also what it contains.
So if "org.kde.kwrite" is shared as installed app, you could add "simple text
editor" with a link to discover. When the user's favourite apps or information
about weather file sharing is enabled or not are collected it could tell you in
a short sentence why it is collected. (I have no idea what the KDE Telemetry
really collects and I based this on the GNOME Telemetry:

The Matrix Mockup is a good step in the right direction.
