I guess what I’m saying is if this information was being sent across a network, that would be detectable.
If you are constantly monitoring 24/7/365, sure. We don't know how often it would send it if it does, it would require reverse engineering and intense monitoring. Also, even if they aren't doing it now doesn't mean they can't easily add it in a patch.
It's generally not worth trusting IMO.
Sure, but by then it could be too late for the vast majority of people.
It's not super relevant if nobody is looking for it/it's hard to detect even if you are and plenty of damage can be done prior to detection.
