Private conversations - doctors, security - can't be held within earshot of Alexa or its ilk simply because the wake word triggers the sending of audio to America, which violates privacy and sovereignty regs in orgs that pay attention to the rules they all must adhere to and don't want to be investigated.

This often means phones to be used near those conversations require some disabling of agent trash.
