The fears are a bit overblown anyway. If you use Google search, Amazon ordering, Facebook,Tik Tok, Instagram, an android phone, Gmail, or any website that runs ads… these companies know everything about you already.
And it’s extremely unlikely that someone would use the vulnerabilities in smart home tech to do anything to any individual home. They have to specifically target your home, know what devices are on your network, know how to gain access to them and the internal network, somehow know how to get into a file server that almost nobody runs or get into a running desktop or laptop, and even then you have to have something worth stealing.
It’s just… not going to happen.
An argument can absolutely be made to keep the smart IOT products away from corporate and government offices though.
I’m in cyber and I don’t give a shit, I have smart home stuff
I don’t keep the secure stuff accessible to it though

Many people in our little privacy bubble don’t though, so those worries are a bit more appropriate here
