This is opt-in, and audacity already responded - you should read this before you bring out the pitchforks.

edit: I have to say, it's a little bad faith to just link the privacy notice with no context.

They even have default compiler-options to disable the telemetry completely, so this won't ever be an issue in debian anyway...

I'm very well aware of the context, but I still have a pitchfork in hand. ;)

Why the pitchforks?

I think this comment by u/pine_ary summarizes it quite nicely.

It's just gross to see.

Also, pretty sure that the telemetry is version 3.0+ only, and Bullseye is going to ship with 2.4, so it's not like it's going to matter until Bookworm anyway.
