The reason people are worried about it is because it's constantly listening for a prompt to turn on the xbox one. That means it must always be listening. Phones aren't always listening for a voice command, so that comparison doesn't really make sense. We saw how crazy people were about their privacy with the NSA scandal, and this came out at the worst time. People in European countries will freak out even more. Germany is a bit crazy about privacy based on what I've heard. And yes companies can monitor your kinnect. MS has been making deals with companies so people can get "personalized ads" from companies they are partnered with. Now does that mean it's always watching, no. It does mean that it's paying a little bit to much attention while the console is in use though.

Yup....kinda makes me hate Edward Snowden more then I should.....he pretty much made many X1 customers irrationally paranoid.

I think there's something wrong with your priorities if you hate the guy because his actions had the unfortunate side effect of hurting the new Xbox.
