In what way does this violate the privacy of anyone around them? It doesn't even store audio recordings, which is something every smartphone has been able to do for 20 years.

It keeps information on what they said?
15 seconds at a time, when the owner activates the feature. The scale of its recall is not meaningfully different than someone scribbling down 15 seconds worth of what they hear someone say (or even just remembering it), and does not pose a greater privacy risk than a scratchpad or human memory.
It’s also much less effective at recording people speaking for long durations than the audio recording feature that every smartphone for the last 20 years has supported.
It also does not identify individual speakers.
If you don't want any one to write down or remember what you said, maybe don't say it to them?
Have you never had a conversation someone you trust that you prefer there not be an automated written record of?

Human memory keeps more information than this feature does.
