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.

Spying and telemetry is not something specific to Bytedance. Example: Google ? Or Microsoft ? Why is it a problem only when it is Bytedance or Huawei ? For the exact same activity

In fact the Chinese entities are even less likely to share your secrets to your governement than their best friends at Google

It should be a crime for Google as well.

"Whataboutism" is a logical fallacy.
