Oh, no need to feel weird about it. Many devices have gotten cheaper than their alternatives because of the grotesque amount of data they collect.
So assuming that cheaper means more invasive seems perfectly plausible, I can't fault you for that.
Yes, absolutely. But many cheap devices are relatively data-friendly, and many expensive are data collection machineries. While there is obviously a correlation, it definitely isn't a causality, and I feel strange breaking it down like that.
