I think this is the truth of the world we live in. People want this stuff so bad that they are willing to give away a lot in exchange. The other component is apathy, many people are just resigned to the fact that they will be surveilled one way or another.

Edit: I have a bunch of Google Homes, I count myself in the apathetic group, sadly.
