doesn't matter what you think when it's not relevant. not every internet connected device is sending personal data of it's user to google or any other adspace reseller.

"i want to buy this."
"NOOO, YOU CAN'T DO THAT!"
"ok, i won't buy it."
"NOOO, NOW YOU HAVE TO!"
"ok, i bought it."
"WE WILL NOW INVESTIGATE YOU!"
one does not have to like him to see the pattern behind this, just like the farce with investigating spacex for "discrimination" for not hiring migrants and foreigners even tho the law explicitly forbids the company to do so because of national security concerns.
