You are of course, right to be angry.
There is a reason I don't have an echo/home/$other. There is a reason I don't use cloud stuff for my personal life(where practical) I don't have web enabled CCTV, I don't smart locks, I generally don't have stuff with cameras in them.
There is evidence for suggesting that the anonymisation apple uses is quite good. Unlike with alexa, siri recording I don't think have been used in court cases. This means that apple are fairly sure that they can't recover people's recording, on pain of contempt of court.
Why is that important? because it means that its most likely GDPR compliant. If you are an EU citizen, I fully recommend you doing a subject access request, to see what data they hold on you. You are within your rights to have that data deleted, or amended. Or if you so wish, none of your details to be ever processed again.
Now, sadly for the USA, your protections are frankly shite. I suspect you'll have to lobby your local politicians.
