Does it collect user metrics like a lot of software does or does it actually steal designs? The report is absolutely not clear about this. I have not read many reports like this but are they all like the one they link to? Is that what a malware analysis looks like?

I'm completely behind the idea of calling every single software that collects user data and sends it off to a server malware but this is just not the case. We don't say Windows comes with malware, we in the West call it telemetry data to improve the user experience.
