Genshin Impact is supposedly spying on my torrent client. : Piracy

I was trying to update the qBittorrent client when the installer threw up an error saying that something was blocking the exe file from replacing it, so I tried removing the exe file to check what's going on and I saw THIS. I don't know what to think about it. Is it just an anti-cheat lurking too much into recently closed processes or is this game just a pure spyware?

As a genshin player, I can confirm that the anti-cheat is super agressive, some weeks ago there was a wave of bans that hit random players who in fact were not cheating due to a miscalculation in the anti-cheat

I have no such issues with QBT and Genshin running, just tried it out multiple times with different launch sequence (qbt before/after Genshin etc) and couldn't trigger this behavior with QBT or any other program really.

All I did was trying to update qbittorrent, but I didn't notice it was still open, so I closed it, tried to install the update again, and somehow genshin was locking the exe. After exiting from Genshin, the update went fine.
