> Is $95 million just cheap enough that they don't want to fight it?

Likely this. Also, the more they fight it, the more press it gets.

Even if no data was sent, the accidental activation is very annoying. I disabled Hey Siri on all my HomePods, because I got so tired of it going off while I was watching TV. Now the HomePods are just speakers I have to manually send music to.

Maybe $95m will be enough to get them to improve the feature so I can enable them again.
