LG hardware laying dormant for sometimes 3 years, then installing software through backchannels silently to record your voice continuously (if the monitor has a microphone, which some models do) and taking screenshots of your monitor content every 500ms, uploaded to their servers and likely shared with data brokers and the government qualifies as malware in my book.

Are you thinking of some other malware? There's nothing in the article that mentions ANY of those things. And considering you made your account 2 days ago, I wonder if you hallucinated it. :)
