I know I'm gonna be in the minority with this, but what if you really just don't care despite knowing the danger?
I have a Google Home in my bedroom, and it's extremely convenient for controlling my lights. I'm aware of the privacy concerns with such a device, but out of all the things in the world that worries me it's just not far up my list to disregard the convenience. I imagine a lot of consumers might feel this way. Now this would be a different story if something was forced upon me (like the government mandated some device, and I don't have an active choice in having it) but I'm making an active choice to buy this device and use it knowing that it could very well be recording the conversations, sex, whatever else goes on in my bedroom.
