Comment:

 `home_url()` was added in r41605, and is consistent with other requests to
 api.wordpress.org.

 There's an earlier ticket that discusses the privacy issues around those
 requests in general: #43492. That'd be the best place to add your
 feedback. IIRC, there are some plugins in the w.org repository which will
 turn that off as well.
