Or maybe they just value different things than you do?
I have an Echo on my kitchen counter. I know there's a small chance that it may be hacked or have a bug or be deliberately modified to surreptitiously record from my kitchen audio that ends up on some Amazon server somewhere, or in the hands of law enforcement, or the NSA, or hackers, or whatever.
I just don't really care. I like the convenience of the device, there's a lot of scrutiny on the devices and the companies that make them, discouraging deliberate misuse, and I don't really say anything interesting or worth hiding. And if someone is going to deliberately target me, my life is jammed with devices that are probably a much bigger risk surface area.
I would never say anyone else should get one if they feel the privacy risks outweigh the benefits, but I'm not personally concerned.
However, I may be wrong. So change my view: why should I care or be worried?
