I’m not dying on this hill because at a point it would just be quibbling over semantics. Your point isn’t wrong - I know there are options built into OSes that can be used to monitor user behaviour - but this isn’t spyware in the same way backdooring shit into android would be
No argument that the end result is pretty similar - but one requires exploits to get some shit on the phone. The other is innate to the OS.
What you’re describing isn’t spyware though.

Not worth the fight… people here will call even usage based telemetry (how many times did this feature get used) spyware.
It rarely is.
