What do YOU call software that installs itself even when you explicitly 
do NOT want it to?  That's malware to me...

What do YOU call software that sends all kinds of details back to its 
home servers, even when you've told it not to?  That's spyware to me...

How do you NOT define Win10 as both malware and spyware?

Note that latter argument could be made against Ubuntu and various 
lenses or scopes or whatever they are, until they finally turned that 
crap off by default.  But as I understand it if you care and turned that 
off it stayed off and was actually off.

Later,
JP
