Using the terms “telemetry” and “spyware” interchangeably makes the former seem more nefarious and the latter less nefarious. I understand where you’re coming from but I wouldn’t want to see the term “spyware” diluted to include anonymised data about how users are using product features.
That’s not to say telemetry data is fine or that a company might claim to only use telemetry data isn’t actually using spyware.
It looks like this works like Apple watch on iOS: there’s an extra security layer as the watch also has to be unlocked. Smart lock just requires a paired device to be within range.
An Apple Watch locks itself when you take it off, so if someone took your iPhone and Apple Watch from you they couldn’t unlock either device. I presume this is the same?
Edit: the article implies that this feature allows verification when you initiate the unlock, whereas Smart Lock actually keeps the deviced unlocked the entire time the paired device is nearby, which in practice is very different and less secure.

I agree with you, and I don’t usually pay any attention to individual poll results. But this sentiment writ large may have an impact on the general election since voters typically link the performance of the economy to the current president (fairly or unfairly).
Interesting graph on this article showing correlation between consumer confidence and positive approval in the president:

Think of those stupid “i did that” stickers, but in reverse.
