How are you going to datamine and AI train and sell customer data for to advertisers for profit, if you can't read the customer data?
Google makes billions from doing this, if we wanted Google to not be able to do this at all, we would have to pay them the same money (more!) collectively to incentivise them to do that instead. And I don't see any movement to take that into account and be willing to do it.
I don't know much about Ring, but I would be amazed if there was no plan or dream in their business model for things like "face recognition to let your friends in", or "tracking suspicious people around your neighbourhood" as a police contractor, or "selling info to FedEx about what their drivers are up to as seen from the customer side", or "selling data to real estate sites about which roads are busiest or quietest", or anything else they can gather.
Saying "my data, my property!" is a principle I can support, but without facing up to this, Ring's answer is very likely to be "we're secure don't worry about a thing .. behind you! a three headed monkey!".
