Fun fact antivirus or spyware as you call it can also be installed on Linux.

It's probably also easier and can likely be done more invasively considering that the company can control every step like the kernel and even app distribution.

Not to mention that we Linux usersvare kind of against sandboxing apps. Which keeps us some what behind on desktop stuff
