Since recording laws are illegal in most places without mutual consent..

I don't find that reason convincing.

Recording videos in public is also often illegal in many places, yet all smartphones come with 2-7(?) cameras. The web browser lets you download pirated content from shady sources. You can post illegal text-based content (defamation etc.) in various apps. You could probably even cause some noise complaints with the alarm app.

And that's just preinstalled software.

I don't know about most places, it's perfectly legal in UK and Czech republic.

Every time you call a firm, they record you, and will use it against you.

Okay, I will tell them I am recording, now can I have my record button back Google? What do you mean no?

Secondly, its still legal to record without notifying in Uk, you just arent allowed to use it in court
