Again, I'm not doubting the spyware aspect of it and am very well acquainted with the idea of the "internet of things". I looked into this more and you are correct regarding the hard drive acronym, but there is no continuity between this acronym and the term "smartphone" which was a marketing term that first came around in '97 and was never really popular until the iPhone a decade later.
Point being, seriously connecting the S.M.A.R.T acronym from the niche hard drive error correction protocols in the early 90's to the "smartphones" of today DOES come off off like conspiracy B.S. It needlessly weakens your overall, legitimate concerns.
