Illegal only applies when the law is an enforced deterrence. If the fine is low enough, it’s the price of doing business. If it’s hard to sue or there’s no enforcement, the law may as well not exist.
Unfortunately, with these large companies it’s been both: low fines and long lawsuits, so by the time they pay a fine, they have earned 100x the fine in a month or so
If these tvs are capturing private conversations for advertising, where’s the consent for that?
EULA has T&C that the first users agree to when they fast forward with the accept accept accept accept screens
Doesn’t matter if you technically consent, that shit is still illegal (at least in the EU)

They don’t need consent, none do us can afford to sue them.
