You already know, for a fact, that it will be always on, always connected, and run on a data harvesting subscription model. We all know that.

I know that it's going to be the default, but I also know that if that's the case, I'm not getting one.

I understand how bad internet connected devices can be, I sure as hell don't want one in my home that could be used to physically harm me. I don't even let my smart thermostat connect to the internet, it's entirely locally controlled.
