Maybe it's just me but the idea that my computer lets Apple (+ any LE organizations) surveil my app launches seems so much scarier than any malware.

This has happened since forever on Mac, Windows and Ubuntu.

Can you please provide resources for Ubuntu?

I would guess they are referencing the Ubuntu Amazon search thing from about 5 years ago (IIRC)
