In theory, that's true. But the term spyware has become the term of choice when talking about adware/malware/keylogger, etc. Kinda like saying kleenex instead of tissue.
Many adware are also spyware and many spyware are also adware. But I'm sure you understand this conversation and in what context the term spyware is being used. If it steals from me and reports every website I look at, then it's spying on me and it's spyware.
