I see your point, but take another look at that telemetry list. It's long ways from spying on what happens inside one search box.

The Amazon integration in the search box isn't even a thing anymore as of 16.04 (i.e. it's now opt-in, rather than opt-out).

The only thing left from the Amazon deal is that they have a referral link on the panel by default. Takes exactly two clicks to get rid of and does not do any form of telemetry.
