Meh, your smartphone is already the ultimate spying device that comes with microphones and triangulates your location from 3 cell towers. The government doesn’t need more spyware than that.

My GrapheneOS Phone is pretty safe and I only use my cellphone connection when I have to, thank you for your concern. Event than, it's still a difference between a battery powered device on a metered connection with tiny microphones vs a literal microphone array connected to a hardline.
It's all make believe, they allow you to pretend that they have no power over you and that makes you happy. All good.
I'm less worried about the government than multinational corporations.
You should be, because multinational corporations can't put you in a cage, the Government can.
