What if I started allowing idiots claiming Apple is privacy friendly and people should absolutely trust Google Nest speakers because Google is a big company?

Disagreements are not small, when someone attempts to establish alternative reality as facts. This is why the bold stance is necessary.

Let me ask, how many years have you been deeply into the privacy endeavours? And I mean deeply. 2? 3? 5 years? I was using Tor before I hit teenagehood. You need a certain level of authority to keep such problems at bay, when one is unwilling to listen, act proud of not researching and double down on their nonsense takes. Maybe you like the shitty advice given on Reddit or other garbage privacy communities where Brave, Pixel and iPhone are recommended, but this is not going to be one. Privacy communities are full of half knowledge loonies and grifters, and there is almost no defense against it.
