i think theres two negative schools of thought, maybe three.

Supporting the beast can feel bad.

They are making more money off your data being freely given in the home then you paid for the product, I'm sure they don't mind giving them away. Why aren't we getting a cut of our personal info? They are reselling our personal data.

Privacy, it's abstract, but people are sucking in your audio/video from these devices 24/7. Is there some weird dude observing/listening the whole time? No, but I am sure they can if they want.

Security, I don't like more stuff connected to the internet beyond Phones and PCs in the event someone does tap into like security cameras or that sort of thing, just not feeling it.

I think I mostly fall in the bottom count, I prefer my cave to be semi secure.
