All of the discourse around “we can’t prove they are listening” feels like gaslighting, to me.
I don’t need proof. We have all have had this experience, and “it’s just tracking absolutely everything else so well that it guesses really accurately” isn’t in any way better, anyway.
It isn’t better, it’s even worse IMO. But it’s just the truth. It is verifiable enough that apps cannot just spy via your microphone in any reasonably modern OS, not even the old versions. What has never been verified though is that there are non-zero-day-exploit-ways to spy through your microphone.
