I'm guessing. Lenovo has had spyware on their laptops for a long time IIRC.

That was on their laptops from Lenovo. There's no evidence you have the same on Motorola.
That's kind of like saying a CEO that has ruined every company they've worked at won't do the same at the next. Kind of like saying if google bought tails Linux, it would be a privacy based OS.
Lenovo has a history, they certainly may not tell the world they've done some shady things, that remains to be found. But their history is not looking good.
Lenovo may have a history. But, Motorola doesn't. Besides, there has been no evidence about motorola doing shady stuff and they have been under Lenovo for so long. According to a recent review they wanted to become the no.3 smartphone seller. It's unlikely they would do this to ruin their reputation.
There are so many flaws in this argument I don't even know where to begin. Lack of evidence doesn't mean a thing is not or hasn't happened. Of course they want to become a higher level smartphone seller, that's literally the goal of a corporation. To make profits. A business operates in a way and they have a mentality and they will lead with that mentality until those that brought in that mentality are gone.
Look at Facebook and WhatsApp. For example:

It also doesn't mean a thing has happened.
You are making assumptions based on speculations which may or may not happen. Until, we see motorola do the same we should not rebuke it.
