Perhaps I'm being pedantic, but even in your quoted definition we don't know that it's spyware. Because 1) we don't know if it takes full control 2) it's there with our knowledge. I still can't agree to your conclusion in your first comment that it is. It might be, but I'd phrase that differently.
blablabla more blabbering around the point below: just pure speculation of what it could possibly be worst case scenario.
Cool, but since you have no idea whether or not its malicious calling it spyware is false.
Media definition of spyware for data privacy purposes is exactly that. The difference here is that this is a tool that can be leveraged to make a copy of all the data in your computer and put it on the cloud, among other things. Tik tok and Facebook can't do that and are subject to much bigger scrutiny.
