I strongly disagree the claim its not unethical - if I don't want to participate, I have no real way of doing so, apart form not buying their products at all. All internal settings re security lie about their behavior. Maximum security settings have only 1 morally defendable meaning - we have no business checking what user do, and respect this all the time. The fact that some search on their store may be sub-optimal is completely irrelevant.
From company focusing its PR heavily on how they value their user's privacy thats highly unethical
If I would be on some other forum I would use the expression "paid shills" a quite a lot here in this discussion, but I believe its mostly folks who put aside their smart and look on technology like this mainly through emotions. Which is always flawed approach long term.

For example maximum security settings could include malware protection which might include application profiling, which would require logging application and therefore user activity. It just depends how you look at it.
