Sorry I misunderstood the question. I promise a blog post on blogs.msdn.com/ie about this in the next week or so. I think there are some things we can do to make this better.
If developers choose not to run it, I don't know how to help them test on it. I link to BrowserCam which may help. FWIW I answered the question as I understood it.
Who is this "management" of which you speak? Guess what -- I'm responsible. "Management" never set my priorities. I did. I tell the people I work for "Hey, here's what I think the goals are and how I'm spending the people and time I think we have. Here's what I'd do with additional people and additional time, and I do/don't think that's worth it." Stuff like "do this feature" or "don't do that feature" is partially with me but typically happens even more deeply on team.
Go back and watch Bill's talk from MiX06 last spring and what he says about IE. I think that might be what you're looking for.
I wrote my own answers. No marketing executives approved or disapproved. Chris Wilson did offer me comments about the standards question because, well, we have lively arguments about how far to go. I'm doing my best to keep everything I'm involved in (the IE blog, answersing these questions, etc.) a spin-free zone.

Nope. Look at "What information is sent to Microsoft for checking a website" at among other posts at the IE Blog about user privacy.
