Not necessarily, nearly all writers of Windows software believe that
they own your computer while their software is running on it. It's a
particular mindset, which seems to have propagated to Android. I don't
know about iOS.
It's one of the main reasons I use Linux where possible. Where not
possible, I try to use Windows versions of OS Linux software e.g.
LibreOffice, or written by well-known people like Simon Tatham.
