Apple Watches have had an audio recorder app for years and no-one cares. Sometimes people are just looking for a reason to be offended.

You'd be shocked what the suite of sensors in the smartphone 99% of the population has in their pocket can do.

If I learned that someone I've been speaking to for a while was recording the conversation using the audio recorder app on their phone, I'd find that extremely creepy.

People have plenty of conversations where if one party intentionally chose to record it, it would be big violation of trust.

This is basically just "always on" recording/transcribing that people have to intentionally remember to turn off, that's a pretty big difference.
