Or so you think. If your car is less than ten years old, there's a pretty good chance that is an unadvertised mic in there as well. Your cellphone has a mic in it - and those can be turned on remotely. Doesn't do a lot of good to buy old gear - computers, TVs, DVRs - that don't have mics, or worry about an Echo device, when you carry a mic around in your pocket wherever you go.
Right now our technology/society is pretty much on the edge where we might say "That doesn't affect me", and the answer is "Yes it does, you just don't realize it". It's like the days of old when you could run into the woods and hide from authorities. Nowadays they'll find you in a heartbeat. Probably even by using your heartbeat, for all we know.
