Why do people use obvious spyware when free software exists?

Eh, I don't know how you could tell it is "obvious" "spyware", unless you are referring to the fact that it comes from Bytedance.

The mere fact that disabling telemetry does not at all disable telemetry is enough for it to be called spyware.

That's only after you read this article. The question is how do you know it's spyware even before you install it. At least it's not clear for me from github README file that I would be knowningly installing spyware.
