You would be surprised at how inexpensive 3G cards and antennas are. I wouldn't be surprised to find more devices just using that for a constant, unstoppable Internet connection if they can't find a link out.
Or, they can do what modern consoles do. No Internet connection, no worky. You agreed to this, and that all info the device finds, can be given or sold freely by the device maker, in the EULA, when you opened the box.

You see these devices are connected to your Wi-Fi network
That's true only if I provide it with my Wi-Fi password.
And there's no way in hell I'm going to be entering my Wi-Fi password into a bunch of IoT devices.
