It's been a while since the code was maintained. Did you check your actual services to see if they were removed or if it's just a logging typo?

As this is dead, how about we suggest alternatives in the read me. SimpleWall https://github.com/henrypp/simplewall an open source GUI for WFP has disable/block for all MS services and common ports. They have their own list including those sourced here https://github.com/crazy-max/WindowsSpyBlocker which is very active

You should never remove their telementry garbage, only disable it. As removing it may [and has for me] broken windows update.
