On the surface that would be a security risk that is hard to quantify (how would they figure out that an app is occasionally capturing audio from someone's living room and using and/or storing or sending it in a way that it's not supposed to?). For instance it could probably be used for some evil scheme to make targeted advertising.
They might be able to open it later if they can find a way to do so, e.g. perhaps only allowing post-processed text to be returned and not raw audio, and even then only whitelisted words.
