I feel like most people just want to pretend the privacy respecting alternatives don't even exist so they can give up. See the endless parade of excuses about why people can't help but use Chrome still.
The battle is well and truly lost on Windows but the line is mostly being held on linux still.
Plus any Internet connected and proprietary (as in closed) device.
AI will be trained on home appliances usage, what fridges contain, washing machine cycles, robot lawnmowers cleans, and of course phones, TVs and cars usage. Pretty much every connected and proprietary device, from vehicles down to electric toothbrushes, will phone home usage data that will be used to train AI, besides of course users profiling for marketing purposes.
An old tagline once said something like "Windows, security, networking; choose only two, you can't have them all". Now it would be "proprietary, privacy, connected; ...".
