Sounds like their marketing was just a bit tone deaf. If it is the modern equivalent of the home camcorder then really what's so incredibly scary? I wouldn't have my camcorder out on the counter while a couple friends and I were enjoying a beer, and neither would I have the "Clips" out for that situation.
Having my family all gathered in the same room ripping apart gifts on Christmas always had a camcorder, if we had Google Clips set up in the tree then we'd probably have more footage of my dad in those years than we do now because he was always behind the lens.
Google just needs someone to spin the market appeal better. Passive surveillance is definitely a sore spot. Ease free family memories are way more of a positive spin.
