Survey requests should be opt-in only #28897

Describe the bug

When using the CLI, I'm prompted to complete survey requests with a giant blue banner, which is large and distracting. The Unix philosophy is that software should be silent unless there's something that the user needs to know about, so surveys should be on an opt-in basis only.

Other tools I use on my system don't bother me for surveys, and I don't appreciate a noisy, brightly coloured banner in my terminal. In general, I highly value my privacy and don't want to be solicited for any sort of survey or to have any sort of telemetry collected, and as such any sort of communication of this nature is unwelcome and undesired. In addition, I don't expect my terminal to be cluttered with irrelevant details from software I run, and consider it a bug when software is needlessly noisy.

Issue script & Debug output

N/A

Expected behavior

I expect not to receive unneeded messages, especially messages which are not related to the behaviour I'm performing. I expect to receive no requests for surveys and to see no irrelevant messages in my terminal.

I don't expect to need to configure software separately to not be noisy.
