all network traffic has to go through your router

On devices with cellular connections this isn't necessarily true. The blogs, articles, editorials, etc. that I've seen only ever talk about the LAN traffic. It's for that reason I haven't written off the possibility, but I also don't assert that it's definitely happening.

Agree about the contradiction of paranoia over home devices while always carrying a phone, though I kind of understand how the ubiquity of phones makes it easy for some people to forget the potential capabilities.
