I think the main problem is that these are all malware by definition. They are grabbing all of the data they can get and the users are not the ones who what that. I could install this on a separate user account which should restrict its access to my stuff but it is still a lot to ask. And a lot of these software requires admin access, which is absolutely not ok even for a second on my personal PC. If the school wants to ship me their PC with it installed I have very little complaints other than the biases in the video analysis. There are other concerns, such as they often only support a few proprietary operating systems, however many programs require these anyways, so that isn't a major step back in most cases.
