While I see a number of comments mentioning disdain for the move by Cypress, I'd like to know the core issue claimed by them due to which they state they're "defending their intellectual property". After all, just intercepting certain API calls to report to a different service instead of the one chosen by the developers is ultimately legal; in most jurisdictions there are laws that allow for compatible implementations to be developed as long as it is done using clean-room techniques. If that's not considered legal, it's probably even problematic to run AWS CLI to a self-hosted Minio instance or one of the S3 compatible service; using the Sentry SDK to report errors to Glitchtip (a similar API-compatible service), and so on and so forth.
