Well. It's required for downloading Unreal Engine for development. Not really sure about spyware.
Yeah I am not buying that spyware argument either.
Here's some info about the spyware that they had in Epic Games that was allegedly "fixed"

You can sell access to your PC for the free games from Epic if you choose to. I choose not to install their garbage app, because I have plenty of other games and I don't need their free bait.
Once trust is lost, it's hard to get back.
That shit is 4 years old already and it is fixed no more outrage.
But you do you.
WeChat would like a word
WeChat is not Epic Launcher last time I checked.
All it took last time was Tencent to say jump to their asset.
