> Chrome is scanning your files, including private folders, in the background as an anti-malware measure

Chrome is a proprietary software, and proprietary software developers feel free to do invasive things for whatever purpose they deem necessary. Users would have no recourse if they were using this tool for spying or data collection, other than uninstalling it.

People who use proprietary software are victims. Do not advocate for proprietary wares
in any form.
