Wouldn't that be a risk even if this feature didn't exist? How do you know your phone isn't currently listening for music/speech and sending that data to the cloud without your knowledge?

> And it's possible that vulnerability will be discovered

Again though, that's already true regardless of whether this feature exists or not. Is there any reason to believe this feature is more likely to have a vulnerability than any other feature on your device? Why would you trust this code less than, for example, the code for your WiFi driver?
