As someone who has removed my fair share of spyware infections I'll say "easy now".

I think I'll be happy the day EU and American consumer protection agencies start looking closer into Googles business.

I'd also applaud even more visible information about what exactly gets collected and sent (the old gds "Read very carefully - this is not the usual yadda yadda" would be a good start).

However IMO we shouldn't call legitimate telemetry "spyware". I thing that is what you call "crying wolf".
