Uh-huh. Call it what you want, it's still malware.

Yup. That implementation amounts to causing wilful damage to a computer. Well, OK, so does installing Windows, but that's generically a bad idea that is industry accepted, but making it worse has definitely a criminal aspect to it. What's more, they've just admitted so by stating they won't stop doing it, no, they will only change what they're doing which translates as making the backdoor harder to find..
