We're not going to agree on that. The response is clearly there to point to a fig leaf instead of saying 'oh, oops, we will make this more obvious in the UI', the software is working as intended: as a way to gain access to more data.
Note that clipboard data can be just about anything and is a valuable dataset, more so if the source of the data isn't aware of being a source, besides, there is no history so you won't even know what you've lost.

No they could still be just incompetent/negligent rather than malicious. You also forget that they aren't running the translation services, they don't get any data, that's a separate third party you'd have to believe are in on it too.
