>I'm talking about national security level sensitive things, not your little brothers surprise birthday plans...
You added "national security level sensitive things", not the parent. There are thousands of subjects one might not want to be eavesdropped on that are not "national security level sensitive things".
Not to mention "national security level sensitive things" are not that far-fetched either. Not everybody lives a life as uniteresting as you imagine.
What about a activist or a mere vocal critic living in an opressive regime? Or a politician with enemies in the other party (happens all the time, and judging from Watergate and Hoover, also happens in the US)? Or an investigative journalist talking with his sources for that matter? Or how about a businessman discussing some multi-million dollar deal, or an investor?
Heck, how about a developer with several NDAs, in some major role in a big company, perhaps a FAANG one - like hundreds of people on HN?
