What is uncertain about it? Are you not sure if Ubuntu has this
option? Or are you not sure if the information is sent to Amazon?

When the option is configured as default what is unclear about if it
affects a user or not?

If one is not affected then, one has to know Ubuntu is doing this, one
has to know it affects ones privacy and its bad, then one has to know
how to opt out from this and then opt out from this. Do you think that
is an easy path for a normal user? Do you still think that is
acceptable for a Free Software distribution to do?

If at all it is an useful thing, shouldn't it be an opt in? or
shouldn't a user be asked or informed about it?

You have to keep reminding your government that you don't get your
rights from them; you give them permission to rule, only so long as
they follow the rules: laws and constitution.
