They might do a Google/Microsoft and just add it back later, or in a way that doesn't notify its users clearly. Best practice is to buy from reputable companies always, instead of being part of the problem and providing demand for the corrosive shit that offers no benefit to anyone but the manufacturer's management division.

Nice. Keep ditching your web connected smart devices though. There's still a whole lotta sleazy shit they doing.
