There is not way to convince me about such spy-ware. If you want to collect statics with an opt-in, you can achieve the same by launching a counter website.
What a brilliant way to have a debate "nothing you can say can change my mind".. that is the rhetoric of conspiracy theorists and other breeds of true believers.
Would you have preferred me to say: "Hell needs to freeze in before I'll install this piece of crap?"
And it's not related to conspiracy - It's about privacy. Less politely: My HW profile is none of your business.
BTW, my person definition of SPYWARE: A piece of software which silently collects otherwise unavailable data and transmits it without any technical need to operate a local machine.
