It will take only 1 story about a lost/kidnapped kid found because of Alexa/Google Home/... device using voice recognition to see these devices in EVERY home because "it's safer for the kids!".
It will be the "normal" to have a device spying 24/7 in your home. And if you don't have one, it's probably because you have something to hide!
I work in IT for 23 years now and I don't understand this obsession with IoT ! Are you to lazy to turn off your lights yourself? To use a simple programmable thermostat? You really want to bug your home with a Google Home/Amazon Alexa/... or any other IoT gadget "du jour" to be spied on 24/7? Yes I have a cell phone. This is the only "connected" device I have. Not a single IoT device will ever enter in my house.
On the next IoT devices hack, the next state-sponsored privacy invasion scandal or the next Amazon/Google/Nest/... and now Hot Tub manufacturers (WTF!!) leaks all private data collected by their connected devices, I'll open a bag of popcorn and watch it from my "not so cool" analog but peaceful life.:)
I disabled "Ok google" feature on my phone (ok.. you need to "trust" it's really turned-off). This is why my next will be a Librem 5 (https://puri.sm/products/librem-5/).
At work on my Windows machine (not my choice!), Emacs actually take 55MB of RAM (with a lot of.el packages loaded). And I can do a LOT more on Emacs (or Vim) than Atom text editor. Today's programmer hipsters waste SO MUCH precious resources (RAM, CPU, electricity...)!
They (younger programmers) talk about how we kill the planet by using too much resources... but they eat my computer resources like pigs for what? Running their new f****^H^H^H^Hriendly text editor that take so much resources just to edit text files! Using tools like Slack (the glorified IRC mostly use to send stupid Meme/GIF to coworkers!). They almost force us to buy more powerful hardware each year (new CPU, new RAM, new HD = e-waste, rare earths mining,...)
Security update must be seen has a fix for a defect in the product. It's the same as recalls in the automotive industry. So it must be free. This way, maybe software companies will take twice before pushing defective products on the market.
Never heard of this also. Maybe they can just have a network of volunteer's of mirrors sites (like Linux distributions). I have a small business and I can contribute by giving a part of my bandwidth. I want to support those artists.

Maybe in the US... But here (Quebec, Canada) we got only 4 channels : 3 boring French channels and 1 "ok" English channel.
