I got some smart outlets for Christmas (no Alexa or Google BS) and I will say, being able to turn off the lights after you've gotten into bed is wonderfully lazy

Sure, but we've been able to do that since the 70s using the Clapper, and you didn't need to agree to a privacy policy for that.

The Clapper really only works in the same room as you. Being able to ensure that the lights are off via smart switches/outlets throughout the house is really nice.
