This is of course all very well known. The best way to prevent this sort of data collection is to install open source FOSS alternatives or block internet access to devices at the router level. For things like Android, you can do a more finegrained approach.
For Siri, it is very difficult for it to still function as a device without invasive access. You’d need to find a different thing for this, there are many Home Assistant compatible options that don’t phone home. As a matter of fact, all of these sort of smart home devices tend to have home assistant compatible devices that can be stripped one way or another of all their telemetry leaks.
Pihole can rip out telemetry data and block ad domains at the router level too. For android without software changes (like swapping to Graphene OS), I strongly recommend https://nextdns.io/ which will help block telemetry and ads even in unpaid apps.

https://www.privacyguides.org/ has a decent list of alternatives, but are by no means exhaustive.

Have a Pihole at home. Can’t really take it on the go. Unless the Apple ecosystem has some form of blocker, I just have to deal with it.
Nextdns is a good choice for on the go, I’m pretty sure its an easy swap on iphones.
