If I'm understanding it right, any new speaker you can buy from them will still be dependent of some cloud service.

On that case, no, that wouldn't make me consider buying them. Because the one I can buy lacks exactly the feature that would make me consider it.

I am assuming that the GP was referring to buying these exact speakers second-hand, given how they spoke of the environmental impact.
