Sure, but I’ll certainly not stay at a place putting me under privacy-invading surveillance on the suspicion that I don’t know basic etiquette.

I’ll also consider these things to be microphones unless their manufacturer explicitly says otherwise, yet on their website I’ve only seen vague assurances about them being privacy-friendly.

For some, “on-device speech recognition that only sends voice samples for cloud analysis in exceptional cases” would probably also meet that bar, but it doesn’t for me.
