For sure. But lots of people dont't know how this stuff works and should not be expected too.
I wonder how many average consumers of Alexa products would feel differently about their purchase if it said on the box "some people at amazon are likely to listen to what you say". Sure, everyone agrees to the terms of use, but that doesn't seem to count for much in the way of "informed consent" these days. Maybe to the letter, but not the spirit.

How does caveat emptor not apply here? If you put an internet connected microphone in your home - it seems very reasonable to assume someone could listen in on that.
