This reminds me of when people were surprised that Alexa devices listen all the time. Yes, cloud connected device is uploading data to the cloud. That is not very scandalous or interesting. The FBI didn't burn zero days to do this, they simply asked Google for it.

Alexa devices are not recording audio and uploading it all to the cloud all the time.

Nest cameras are designed to upload recordings to the cloud, even without subscription. It's literally one of the selling points.
