I'm not sure if this data they're collecting (if they even are storing it long-term) is even being sold.

Like the other commercial Linux distros, Canonical profits from support.

Also, now it seems that even when you pay for the product you're not guaranteed to have something that doesn't include spyware. Windows 10 is a great example of this.

I completely agree. It is even worse when you pay for a product and still get adds.
