The Personal Data Privacy Arms Race

There's mixed evidence: Apple's rumored privacy-focused smart home hub and local processing emphasis supports the thesis, but multiple stories show privacy failures and regressions (LG smart-TV surveillance allegations, insecure cheap hardware, Google dropping GrapheneOS support on Pixel) rather than manufacturers gaining loyalty from privacy-by-design. No article demonstrates measurable market share or loyalty gains tied to privacy features, which is close to the falsification criteria though not a clean match.
