If a third party did anything like this, it would be considered malware.

Many already consider Apple software malware: https://www.gnu.org/proprietary/malware-apple.html.

Just read the german version of that article, and they way the talk, and the way it is represented does not sound professional at all. It often sounds like a parody, for example calling Apple „Big Brother“ for offering a cloud service.

Its sounds really polemic and takes away some of its credibility, because of weird wording, and leaving out some information here and there so some things sound worse than they are.

I agree with you, the style could be much better. However it does not change the listed facts.
