You're closeI don't have Alexa so I can't.
I won't have one in the house, would you let your next door neighbour listen in to EVERY conversation you have in your house ? And, if you thought that was ok, would you allow a $1 trillion American company access to those conversations too ?
You believe that Google/Alexa listen all the time.
If they are telling the truth - big if, then the 'listening all the time' is simply sensitivity towards the hotwords 'Alexa' or 'Okay Google'. At the point of activation, then yes these companies 'listen' to everything we say, but that is wholly different to 'listening to everything we say'.
Out of interest, do you carefully cover your tracks each time you surf the web etc, as I can't see much difference in the data between instructions/searches online or through an assistant.
Alexa is constantly listening out for " Alexa " so, you have a microphone on in the room. This is owned by a massive corporation geared up to selling me stuff I may want ahead of rivals.

I don't have a problem with it because I'm really no more important than the millions of others with Alexa. Anyway, most of the words she hears in my house are from the TV, especially Juanita watching EastEnders, so they probably think I live the life of Phil Mitchell.
