It's not the same at all, smart tvs can still send tracking data home about what you're viewing etc. I would not want either.

Ditto. And what's to stop someone from making a relay/chip/switch to turn the speakers into microphones when the TV is off-not-off, save Big Co LLC the microphone costs and get a big fat promotion? If it's possible, someone will do it. Remember when Goog "forgot" to mention the Nest microphone?

EDIT: Even better, Visio's lapse. This shit used to be illegal, and now it's supposed to be not super creepy, too? No thanks.
