Surveillance is profitable for the computer manufacturers. The “barebones” version therefore costs more. SmartTV’s, cellphones, etc don’t make a lot per person but it’s enough you need to go up market to find any real privacy.

I don’t know, a $1200 for a phone sounds expensive enough.

Up market as in brands. Samsung can’t exactly advertise less surveillance as a feature, this a “$5” feature ends up costing vastly more.
