Yeah definitely. I think the scope of desktop apps is often wider though.
With web apps any telemetry data is pretty much limited to things on that ___domain. Browsers have access to more in principle.
I guess if the data transmitted is not personally-identifying or profile-building then it's fine. E.g. number of sites only, not urls. On second glance at the new FF page https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/firefox/ it seems like the stuff they collect is pretty innocuous. Paranoia ftw.
