And what leads to the vendors caring? Demand.

There is no demand for this software on linux. Professionals have better things to do than choose their software based on ideology.

But professionals now have a very good, non-ideological reason to choose a Linux OS over Windows. How many professionals are comfortable with an operating system that collects and sends everything they load, type or save to Microsoft and their corporate and government partners?

Has it actually been proven that this happens? Vague wording in a EULA isn't proof.

In some cases (e.g. legal and medical services) the very potential may be illegal in some countries -- and the proof could lose not just someone's business but their license to practice.
