Let me re-phrase...

They have nothing to do with the the existence of a _*local*_ content
engine.

Content provider collecting too much info and misusing or leaking, yes
that is an issue.

Content provider being able to collect _more_ info due to having a local
engine...Not an issue for the ones discussed, that would require an
intercept type system with access to traffic not specifically destined
for the content engine in question...A fundamentally different type of
device/mode of operation...requiring a very different network design
surrounding it (not something you can install my accident in anything
larger than a home or small business network).
