You’re being too strict. You’re complaining about the case where the setting is in the initial state (user has neither consented nor rejected data collection) and data is collected locally but never uploaded to Fedora. (I know you understand this, but I want to be crystal clear for everybody else who may be skimming this discussion rather than reading your post in detail.) You want us to prominently explaining this level of complexity to users and instruct them how to remove all components from the system, even though they are not uploading any data to Fedora, and even though they can be deactivated by flipping a simple switch. It doesn’t seem like a serious request to me.
What I am more willing to do is present the simple switch to users when upgrading from previous versions of Fedora, using gnome-tour. (I had been hoping we could save this for later, though, or even not do it at all and only collect data from fresh installs.)
I mean, you know where the disable switch will be. View it in gnome-control-center and the local collection will be disabled. You won’t even have to flip the switch, since in gnome-control-center the switch will be off by default and just viewing the page will be enough to disable local collection. Switching to another distro to avoid flipping a toggle switch seems pretty extreme.
