Not a conspiracy theory. It's basically how modern marketing works since...2012 or so, and why it's in a death spiral (you can either afford the data sets or not and that's what determines if your advertising is effective)
I call it a conspiracy theory by way of the deliberate absence/omission of non "smart" choices. It's unspoken but it's there, and it's systemic.
Well, if you make and sell a non-"smart" TV or whatever, you're leaving money on the table. It's hardly any more expensive to add, and you get the extra recurring revenue stream from selling surveillance data, and maybe subscriptions or service upsells.
