I'm a bit confused about what it is you think has been abhorrently bastardized.
There are
1. well-behaved programs that do what I tell them to do,
2. programs that surreptitiously send my data to an external party without being told to.
I thought we were calling the second category of behaviour "telemetry" (or "spying" when we're not being polite). If not, what is the correct terminology?
