    Meta isn’t really a widget seller, though. Alexa and the Google thing only have the user base they do because they jam it into every device they sell.

      It’s not a huge leap for them though. They could do it. They already sell VR gear that’s relatively popular, and they have the resources and reach to market anything. If it allows them to spy on people to this level, watch them subsidise any device they sell to hell and back.

      Even acquiring a company that already sells consumer electronics/appliances and subsidising their products isn’t impossible for them. Like I said, they have the resources.
