Please realize, for this to be true, there must be another incentive. I.e., Alexa devices are government-subsidized spyware.

What are the advantages for Amazon?

- Mic-popping, Camera-popping, mobile phone backdoor access, network sniffing, device activity monitoring across all wifi/bluetooth connected networks.

- Sidewalk (remember this? Amazon "borrows" your wifi, for free...)

Unplug Alexa devices. Remove the Alexa app from your phone, and factory reset. Otherwise you remain complicit in Amazon surveillance of you and everyone that interacts with you.
