I talked to someone yesterday who didn't trust Amazon enough to use an Alexa device after the recent audio recording publicity. Imagine their surprise when I let them know who owns their Ring doorbells and security cameras.

To be fair, Amazon only recently bought Ring (early 2018), and I recall the products being quite popular even before Amazon's acquisition. So really it may be the case of someone actively choosing not to buy a FAANG product, only to be sucked in later by Amazon's blackhole.
