Great question.

I suppose yes for my use case. I would say 80% is to play music and 19% turn on lights and that last 1% for weather and timers.

The time it takes to pull a phone, ten taps, and do one of those things is going to be more mental and physical effort along with time than speaking out the command.

Of course I hold views and express them in my house and, provided I am recorded, taken to court or executed for such positions, I suppose I am either living my truth and willing to die for it or subject to being silenced by unknown parties at an unknown time for an unknown reason. I refuse the latter.

I have weighed these topics heavily. I also have cameras, walk around wearing a smile, and carry on with activities that I would rather not be made public yet at the same time - if they were, I believe all those who use devices are subject to the same exposure.

I choose not to be famous or become well known. If I had 2x net worth or personal exposure I live in a faraday cage.
