Its not the 'same thing'. W10 will continue to talk back to Microsoft, even when there isn't a need to*.
The Nvidia one makes sense as obviously they'd never recieve enough reports about faulty drivers/settings as most people don't send error reports when something breaks. Alot of W10's data gathering/traffic is just pointless guff but some of it is a bit of a privacy issue.
*For example it'll happily keep downloading news from MSN even if you've never fired up the tile/have no tiles enabled.
