Any all-you-can-eat policy is going to attract people who abuse it, and storage isn't cheap so this isn't really a surprise. Looking at the limits they're pretty generous for any real use case and people who need more than that should probably just accept that big storage is going to cost money.

This isn't what it sounds like. If you go through to the original article then the AI usage is for generative AI which you can add to your meetings (eg generating subtitles). It's an opt-in service and you're notified on the call if someone enables it. They're not just collecting your call data.
