Would humanity be better off? Or are people stupider when they are thinking out loud in front of recording devices?
How much do the lawyers deserve to know?
Nothing IMO. They can look at the company's actions. There's no need to invade the privacy of individual employees.
If they were trying to confiscate my personal mobile that I use for work I will never go along with that.
Luckily I live in Europe where the atmosphere is far less litigious.
Not if your name is Google Inc.

This refers to employees communicating in a work setting not personal communications. Not saying there should be cameras in the bathroom but if you’re talking to coworkers on an @google email about work… it feels hard to justify saying it’s private.
Employers try to push that as far as they can get away with, so there are current examples of employees being treated worse than cattle that should be illegal and probably is, but that is just employers overreaching and getting away with it because of the usual power discrepency.
And my point with all that is the rest of us have no right to anything the employer has no right to.
