You have no way of trusting any other company that releases closed systems either. Like iOS, or manufacturers Androids. You have to trust some institution at some point.

You're the only one who has used the term "conspiracy" here. Again (for the 5th time you've been told) Microsoft has used exceptionally broad terminology to describe what data they are collecting.
