With a tiny little tweak to the firmware, it could be always-on. With the seven far-field microphones it would be a very nice audio surveillance device indeed. No thanks.

Right. Cellphone's baseband also. Hope you don't have any in the room with you otherwise that would be hypocritical. Most have a speakerphone which will pick up the whole room's audio.
