Never had Alexa in our house, only have non voice type Roku devices, and the couple Crapple devices I have have had any access to Siri blocked for all apps. Sucks to do it again after every new iOS version, so mostly family is switched to Pixels

Roku is one of the biggest data collecting companies out there. Their whole business model is to sell targeted ads based on your data
No disagreement here, but can’t live a perfectly anonymous life. Having a family that is not all onboard the BTC train, some compromises are made. My Pixel is running GrapheneOS, have not been able to get them onboard with that either yet…
Life continues, so I do what I can and try to educate and help others along the narrow way. Rather like the Gospel, eh? ;-)
I buy dumb things, but it's getting harder to do.
It's getting to the point where I'm going to have to buy appliance and physically remove the electronics I don't want in there.
The trouble is, if I were them, I would code the appliance to stop functioning if the microphone fails. That means I will eventually have to clone, modify, and reflash the microprocessor.
I really don't want to make a business out of that because I really have better things to do. But I see this coming.
