The real question is, who controls this device you own that's in your home? If you can control it, well and good. If it comes equipped with spyware, or compromised camera/microphone like in some game consoles and 'smart' tvs, or inbuilt trackers and you cant switch any of that stuff off, you should consider how much your safety is worth to you, and if the device is sufficiently valuable to compromise it.
The day will come when you are having a conversation in your own home and express a theory or use words that some megacorp doesnt like you expressing, and then you will find that mysteriously all your online purchasing accounts have been terminated, and banks are closing your savings and credit card accounts and telling you to go elsewhere. And prospective employers are hanging up on you and tossing out your job application because their background checking systems have you red-flagged as a bad person.
Why persist travelling down a road when that dystopian hell is at the end?
Marketing gimmick is all it is really.
