Also, it would make no business sense to always be listening. A lot of people think that just because Alexa and Google Assistant are free to use, it means that these services are virtually free for the companies as well, but that's not the case. There is no way Amazon or Google would waste millions of dollars running the state of the art speech recognition algorithms on your house's background noise.

There is no way Amazon or Google would waste millions of dollars running the state of the art speech recognition algorithms on your house's background noise. Unless they wanted to listen for a dog barking, then add "pet food buyer" to your profile data. There are a lot of very easy use cases for monitoring background noise.
