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.

If anything it is spying on the application itself. This is limited in scope compared to spyware which is software which spies on users themselves.
