Isn't that how they just release all features? So they can do progressive roll outs and telemetry on issues with it?
Not sure if they later move the code from inside the flag check to the main code or that they keep the flag check.
But if they would keep all features behind a flag that would not make most sense as you then would have not many features without telemetry.

  It's been like this at least months. I turned telemetry off a few months ago and it basically prevented all stages rollouts of new features from working.
  Anthropic commonly gates behind feature flags that require telemetry until they're "promoted" and defaulted on.
  A little bit annoying you can't manually control the flags without telemetry but I think the title is a bit click bait.
