> Surely you'd be angry if someone secretly installed a rootkit onto your computer

I surely would. What does that have to do with this scenario.

Note that the SW running on your machine is not doing anything malicious. The service is the thing that behaves in ways you want like - and that service is not running on your device.

There is no comparison with rootkits here. This is the equivalent of Google giving you a CLI to make searches easier, and that tool decides to just Rickroll you randomly. Annoying, yes. A security concern? No.
