You know, you're right. I've deleted my main comment - I think this topic cannot be broken down that easily. While I am concerned that privacy laws are often ridiculed by big companies, my comment was very classist. So thanks for calling me out, I feel weird about it now.
Oh, no need to feel weird about it. Many devices have gotten cheaper than their alternatives because of the grotesque amount of data they collect.
So assuming that cheaper means more invasive seems perfectly plausible, I can't fault you for that.
Yes, absolutely. But many cheap devices are relatively data-friendly, and many expensive are data collection machineries. While there is obviously a correlation, it definitely isn't a causality, and I feel strange breaking it down like that.
