The logical conclusion is you’re asking for no local products and everything to run server side. It’s kind of a ridiculous position that doesn’t change the spying being done other than it’s on the other side of a browser.

I accounted for this in my post. Obviously if you’re making requests just so you can spy, that’s spying.

No you didn’t. If I build you a web video editor, is that because I want to spy on you or because I want to make deployment easier and reduce install friction?

You’re making a distinction that puts you in the privileged judge position of evaluating if a service is making requests just so you can spy vs what the app author’s might believe is a critical design feature in how they want the product to operate.
