Others have said it better than I ever could, but in my own words, even IF every person who bought these was the epitome of the highest moral and ethical standards, I would still be uncomfortable due to the way-too-high possibility of them being 'hacked' remotely which would still have the potential to destroy lives
Less likely to happen but why give the mega corps even more data. Problem is sure people hate these but watch if/when Apple releases a pair all of this well disappear.
Im more worried about meta using the videos for ai training or some other such equally useless and evil reason.
