Yes I have long thought the inability to customize the 'hello google' phrase to be ridiculous. The only explanation I cant think of is Google want us all to chant their catch phrase including their name.
If on the other hand, they as part of the initial set up of assistant, you were prompted - even required - to set your own trigger phrase, then this ridiculous vulnerability would never had occurred.
To me rather than prosecuting BK, they should be applauded for their creativeness. The app designers at Google should be red faced over their tunnel vision 'OK Google' thinking.
