I am skeptical about listening not only because it was not proven, but also because almost the exact same result is achievable via much, much simpler and omnipresent means.

I am skeptical about listening not only because it was not proven,

This old article from Vice seems to have proven it, back in 2018.

  And their conclusion was completely wrong.
  
  Because unless you’re a journalist, a lawyer, or have some kind of role with sensitive information, the access of your data is only really going to advertisers. If you’re like everyone else, living a really normal life, and talking to your friends about flying to Japan, then it’s really not that different to advertisers looking at your browsing history.
  
  These days, a private conversation about pregnancy, abortion, voting, or your feelings about geopolitical stuff like Gaza or Ukraine could absolutely be used against you, depending on where you live.

    Yeah, I didn’t like that part of the article either, but then again that was back in 2017/18 before the today’s political environment.
    
    You’re definitely right.
