Why do people use obvious spyware when free software exists?

Telemetry isn't the same thing as spying on the user. People use it because it's not actually spying on them.

It is literally spying on the user.

Unless you're somehow saying telemetry doesn't report anything about what a user is doing to it's home server.

In my mind, the difference is that spying does or can contain PII, or PII can be inferred from it, where telemetry is incapable of being linked to an individual, to a reasonable extent.

I think "spying" implies "everywhere possible", including, outside the app
