I thought the term was spyware.

Surveillanceware almost sounds like something necessary to prevent bad stuff. Is this corporate rebranding to make spyware software sound less bad?

I don't know, the memetics of Surveillanceware or spyware mostly leads me to the belief that everything is weaponized to drain your money thru ads/marketing instead of the direct approach of stealing my money.
