Built-in system level keylogger in one well-known operating system also helps its developers?
You are arguing a 'slippery slope' of increasingly intrusive
telemetry, but we should judge each thing on its own merits. Yes,
a keylogger is a bad idea--but it does not follow that keeping
track of the hardware configurations, or logging software failures
is also super-bad. If the benefits outweigh costs, the tradeoff is
worth considering---this is true of software just as well as of,
say, vaccines.
The problem with 'slippery slope' arguments is that they themselves can be abused to say that no change is possible because it could be taken too far and lead to abuse.
