Sorry to say that you are "that guy" and your comment, in addition to adding nothing to this conversation, also detracts from HN generally and contributes to the perception that it is an unserious place haunted by the deranged and irrational.

Disagree about "adding nothing". We're talking about hardware for nontechnical family/friends, who might not understand the conflict of interest. It's not nice to project your apathy/disbelief that Google would abuse the access onto those people.

The name-calling is really not necessary. Why not make your point on its own merits?

The doc[0] you're quoting continues to list a bunch of things they do collect, including some with no opt-out. Way to cherry-pick.

Even the part you quoted does not exclude traffic metadata.
