Critical to what, exactly? The consequences to the user are the same. Obviously, intentionally designing a feature that spontaneously records and transmits audio is a problem for many reasons. But the lack of intent does not magically erase the consequences for the people who experience this kind of bug. And, to be clear, this was not simply a matter of "faulty voice-processing". The fact that this could happen without the user's knowledge is a problem in itself. Clearly, there are inadequate visual and audio cues, and insufficient or nonexistent verification. Those failures are not bugs; they are bad design and engineering.
