Yes, unfortunately; the Chromecast audio is among my favorite products Google has ever made. I was happy to see Amazon produce something similar in the Echo Link, and I've thought about "migrating my Home" to Amazon/Echo just because of that, though I'm no happier about giving Amazon unfettered microphones around my home than I would be to give it to Google. One of the few reasons why I think the HomePod is such a fantastic, unique device; for all the wrong Apple does, at least they demonstrate a care for privacy.
