At this point, all Vehicles are spying. It’s not exclusive for EVs. Anything built in the last ~15-20 years have exactly the same sensors, regardless of the engine technology.
While I agree that it’s not exclusive to EVs, I’m pretty sure it was not as bad 15 years ago. For example my Toyota Yaris from 2010 certainly cannot transmit to the outside world (even Bluetooth was an extra back then).
