How is it biased to point out whether you can disable telemetry and how simple it is to do so?
To me, the article title is biased clickbait because it implies Intel is worse than the other GPU options. But Nvidia has been doing the same shit for years.
But I'm not the person you replied to.
Perhaps this is because they expect their readers to know Nvidia is a shit country, while Intel sits squarely in the "meh, they try at least" range?
I would add an entire paragraph titled "at least they're doing better than Nvidia" but people are probably sick of hearing about the bloatware Nvidia installs in your computer.
Claiming that Intel is not as shitty as Nvidia is pretty bold.
