Just a thought, is it because it's Amazon? For me, if it was D-Link, Netgear, or most other brands, I'd immediately pass. Just absolutely no trust that they'd get it anywhere near right. If it's Google, I may pass because they already have so much of my data, and I'm just generally kind of creeped out by them a little bit more every day. If it's from Apple or Amazon I'm not assuming it's bulletproof, but I'm thinking it's going to be more secure than the vast majority of their competition, and likely as secure as anything else available.

Aside: I also realize that Apple or Amazon may pillage my data just the same, but I feel like they make money by actually selling things vs. selling my personal info and thus their incentives are skewed towards chasing things I'm generally more okay with.

Curious why you differentiate between Amazon and Google. Maybe you pesonally don't shop there, but they are the world's largest (maybe Ali in China is bigger by volume) online retailer and they have a metric shit ton of what advertisers really want, the data on shopping preferences.

For me, I don't care if Amazon has my shopping preferences. I don't see a list of every item I've ever bought or viewed as particularly sensitive information. If you use Chrome, Google search, Gmail, and maybe have an Android phone, then Google knows everything. Private conversations, every service you have ever used (assuming email is used for login), every thing you've ever searched for, every url you've ever viewed in your browser, basically everything of everything.
