I'm also a GAFAM engineer. (Personal opinion ahead etc..)
I agree with you that nobody is listening and it isn't valuable data even if they were.. My biggest issue is that the devices are a black box. Nobody knows if they're hacked or compromised which is why hardware disabled buttons. More transparency is critical. I think I should be able to monitor all of my smart devices' activity with as much done on device as possible.
Apple and (now) Google have made strides with on-device ML lately - I hope things continue down this path.
