My comparison was about business models of these "evil" cases in general, not about terminals particularly. On general, free apps tends to need find a balance how much users can tolerate their "exploitation" and how much they get from the app, if the app maker wants to make some money.

I don't personally see any reason to swap terminal with telemetry. One of my worst fears that some day I am forced to.
