Unfortunately that's true. These days it's just cheaper and easier to place everything on a screen rather than using anything physical. Imagine that voice recognition gets even better, then it would be even cheaper to have nothing but a speaker and a microphone. Touchscreens and capacitive buttons have a number of issues that physical controls don't, but (unfortunately?) they're usually cheaper, last longer and are much more convenient for the manufacturers so they're not going anywhere. Tactile feedback, a fixed spatial position and being "always on" are now luxuries.
Honestly, it's 2020, even if your technical understanding is so low that you have no idea what a "browser" is, you know that Google will do anything in it's impressive power to track down everything you do with legal or illegal means.
Thanks to Snowden, this is no longer a conspiracy theory. It's a fact.
Google should be fined for this but they probably won't be.
