Not if you control the updates.

But to do that you have to have an absolute zero-tolerance policy for proprietary tyrant devices. Only Linux (or other Free Software) PCs. Only Graphene, Lineage, or similar on your phone. No new TVs, no new cars. No "smart" devices unless they've been flashed with ESPHome or Tasmota and only connect to Home Assistant. OpenWRT or OpnSense on your router.

Basically, you need to be a skilled IT person and willing to devote time for it all. But it can be done, with difficulty.

Sure, but you can probably get 80% of the way there a lot easier. Getting to 100% is hard AF though.
