Samsung spyware in TV's and smartphones and Lenovo rootkits in laptops (random examples) have shown that customers only need 1 simple value proposition to be ok with being spied on: slightly cheaper hardware.
The companies can offer cheaper hardware and software, because they (and their business and government clients) spy on you.
TLDR: end-users are not the only customers.
