With the RCs the feedback is already active. When following up on why the feedback tool was no longer seen besides the RCs being a general public release not strictly for testers the information simply states MS is collecting data from the usage for hardware as well as software bugs as well as trying out test updates.
The RCs simply made it possible for the average user to become a guinea pig while they get a first hand look at the next version before being finalized. They serve a dual purpose where both sides receive some form of benefits.
