Yes, but when you can get similar results using completely "legal" methods that people, even when confronted with straight facts like this, don't seem to care about - why would you risk it?

Did the US government use completely "legal" wiretapping methods?

And their is nothing illegal about listening for keywords, even if the companies currently deny doing so. There really is no risk: The people up in arms about privacy will remain up in arms, and the 99% who don't care will continue not caring.
