I guess I can I see how one, from a certain point of view, might call any feature of any product that they don't personally use 'bloat.' Like if you never have a passenger in your car, you might call the passenger seat 'bloat.'
But I can't see how the word 'invasive' applies here. In all cases you'd need to explicitly choose to use the feature, and that feature is just an alternate interface method for a device you'd have chosen to own, which is purpose-built to be a smart, Internet connected data appliance.
That would be like paying someone to come to your house, ordering him inside, then calling him an invader when he does.
