It's precisely because it's technical people who know better that you see "telemetry" labeled as "spyware", which it is, and it's how we called it back in the 1990s/2000s.

The only reason people these days call spyware "telemetry", is because it got normalized by large companies, and is now defended by devs who figure it's better to ship spyware to people than to give a damn and talk with users.
