Some devices connect to any open wifi to send analytics. Some devices even have their own modem to always be connected.

Not sure about the “modem” thing, always has worried me though. You mean like an LTE chip?
Guess I don’t think about the open network thing because:
Nobody, not even router makers, deliver open network by default anymore
I don’t have any other wifi signals in my area other than my own

Yes LTE and the like. My car – for instance – is connected 24/7 to the cloud. I can control some functions remotely. The price is probably full tracking of me anf my family.
