An unreasonable high number of telemetry in Opera?

I‘ve seen this chart on https://sizeof.cat/post/web-browser-telemetry-2025-edition/ where Opera with having 31 connections on first run is placed at the bottom of the pack. Even Chrome having far less connections, with Brave faring not as good as expected.
What should I think about these results especially with an eye on privacy?
