Let's add 6th and 7th questions that are biased like yours but in the other direction:

6. When UBI's servers go down for the evening when you want to play, are you happy to be locked out of the game you bought?

7. As this does nothing to stop piracy (see every other game that's been DRM'd, including huge stalwarts of the industry like Empire, Modern Warfare and the Steam platform), are you happy for these restrictions that can stop you playing totally outside of your control when the only advantage of them is to the publisher to stop 2nd hand sales and to monitor your usage?

In response to 5. Does UBI install any spyware, malware or fishy software to monitor my online experience? - As you're connected to their server and they're aware of everything you do in the game as you do it, and can quite easily have a nice skim of all your hardware, drivers, frame rates, etc. That'd be a yes.
