So is your point that what Microsoft is doing is in fact spyware and not technically "telemetry", since what I linked to is what they are actually doing? In that case, to avoid confusion, we should stop referring to it as telemetry.

Yes, agreed. In that example, that was spyware, but calling "telemetry" spyware by default is wrong.
