I don't even know how to call this to be honest. I mean, it's not scam, it's not MITM, it's not fraud but it's still trying to deceive users...so what is it?

The only parallel that comes to mind are all the "helpful" clickjacking toolbars in Internet Explorer that tried to push every search and every link to their own results page.

"Dark pattern" fits, but is not very specific.
