If one loads an app on Apple's popular smartphone, Apple keeps a record of it. Along with one's credit card number and potentially a large amount of location and connectivity data.
If one loads an app on Facebook or searches on Google or even visits a commercial website one's privacy is likely to be compromised.
None of this makes Windows behavior entirely devoid of causing concern, but in my opinion, Microsoft is more trustworthy filling that role than the crapware antivirus providers who have been doing it for years.
