Is it really "Big Brother" when the model runs locally on your device and doesn't send any personal info to anybody?

Ideally no, not "Big Brother". But this is Google, and the burden of proof is on them to not collect data "to make our services better", etc.

Especially location data. If something like Find My Phone is activated, my immediate bias is to assume Google is taking advantage of this data collection to monitize my data without my consent.
