There's still a big difference between "a surreptitious hack is technically possible with future development and getting you to accept a bad patch" versus "the company is actively using sketchy powers and trying to make them constant and socially normalized."

In one case, someone discovering sketchy secret backdoor code causes a huge flap and damage to the company's brand and stock price etc.

In the other, some corporate drone bafflegabs about it enabling superior customer satisfaction synergies, while pointing to a tiny clause in an enormous contract of adhesion to claim everybody knowingly agreed to it.
