If you run an Nvidia GPU, it has telemetry. If you run an AMD GPU, it has telemetry.
The drivers themselves contain telemetry for your PC components.
If you are online, it has telemetry. It doesn't matter if you "built it from scratch", because you didn't create the microarchitecture of each individual piece, you didn't create the drivers that allow it to run.
Building your PC just lets you control what components are put in, it doesn't change what those components do.
Also, if you're on Windows, that has telemetry. Linux forks are starting to add it as well.
Many of us build our own PCs "from scratch", but "from scratch" doesn't mean we make all the components and code them.
When did this start? Everything in my computer is way over 10 years old. So long ago I don't even remember the brands inside. I'd have to pop the case and check. And it's so heavy, it's hard for me to move easily. It has the largest tower case in the computer store at the time and the largest power supply they had.
