Must not actually be good at cybersecurity then.
Anyone I know who’s actually deep into cybersecurity avoids extra devices, including smartphones. If you’re not hyper paranoid, you’ve missed the majority of what the nation states are up to.
Or you just know how to block and segregate it on your network.
Or they run everything locally or on a subnet without Internet. It's very possible to have a smart house that doesn't rely on the Internet and does everything locally.
It takes more work, but it's definitely worth it.
