and how is it collecting any data here

are people taking the time to tell the fridge

Among other things, yes, actually, depending on the model and if that input is configured.

Like it's not hard to just go "yep there's a microphone, pipe audio event to the data lake". It's the interpretation part that takes effort nobody wants to pay for or do (that'd actually be useful besides dangling it in front of marketing people)

That's before getting into more comprehensive sorts of sensors like the alleged cameras and whatnot. Again, not complicated to go "yep a thing moved, pipe next X seconds of video output to the cloud". The hard part is determining what's useful.

Or just straight up ask the user for their grocery list and skip the sensor cost altogether. People offer a surprising amount of stuff if you just prompt them for it in a way that isn't seen as intrusive
