They're also orthogonal to smartphones.

Why do you think everybody thinks that? And why frame it that way from the get go, to what the companies themselves are doing today, and/or to what the widgets do in isolation? It's another vector of attack for all sorts of actors, present and future, including the companies themselves.
> All that said, I believe Apple, Amazon, and Google all have worlds more trust in this area than Facebook.
They're not the baseline, the baseline is none of these devices. And for me, those all have worlds less trust than entities I trust, and the difference between them and Facebook is pretty much irrelevant in the big picture.
Thank you, sometimes I feel like I’m nuts for seeing all these people run to install always on mics in their house.
I don’t like the 1 second of buffer the iPhone has for Siri with Hey Siri disabled - but LOL if I’m going to install a single purpose always listening microphone for gimmick reasons.
