What standards are you talking about? I don't know of any. AFAIK, the standard is to monitor users and collect as much data on them as possible. The whole Internet runs on that model.
The market could be driving that. If you don't spy on a user then your competitor would do and get ahead of you (and get additional profit from selling the data or showing relevant advertisement).
Microsoft didn't have any telemetry in earlier days. Now they turned to a dark side.
