The same people who buy mobile phones; despite those being bugs/spy-devices.
Phones are at least easier to justify since everyone kinda needs one now and there aren't many great private options, especially for the lay person
If you give up your freedom for convenience, then you will lose both.
I mean yeah, but for a lot of people if they ditch their phone they'll also lose their job and possibly relationships they value.
Cell phones spying on people isn't good, but most people are simply not informed about how invasive they are and couldn't make an informed decision if they tried. Pair that with the fact that cell phones are essential for a lot of modern life, and it's not difficult to see why the average person is generally more wary of smart speakers than cell phones.
The whole damn situation was a trap.
