I think this approach dilutes the meaning of the term keylogger. For example, Google sends your keystrokes as soon as you start typing in the search box, and uses this for autocomplete. Presumably you didn't read the full T&Cs before you started typing your search query, so by your logic this is a keylogger. But I think most people would make a distinction between this and a "traditional" keylogger. Just for the record - I'm not condoning this behaviour or arguing that it is desirable.
