Well, I don’t use G either. Or Microsoft. I did used to have a Home back when they first came out, but Google started being obvious about being evil around that time and I gave it to my MIL.
Echo, Siri, Google - they’re all bad, and even less necessary than smart phones. You can make a decent, quantifiable argument about the quality-of-life differences a smart phone, wisely used, can make. There are few, mostly accessability related, arguments for the whole-home surveillance devices. They’re absolutely a boon for accessability, and I wouldn’t take that away, but otherwise it’s a minor convenience most of the world manages to live without.
