The primary purpose of an Efho device is not to record you. You brought up a silly argument.

It has 7 microphones and its only purpose is to record you, then respond to your request. That's literally the only thing the device is made to do.

And a laptop has a keyboard and memory to explicitly record what you write. That doesn't make installing a keylogger the same thing.
