Flock could easily get around this by paying people to put them on their own property. Then what?

Put energy into legislation. Ring and Nest already do the same thing.

In my test the prompt was the same and all suggestions were auto accepted so indeed there was no difference other than model and harness. The amount of characters typed and interaction with the harnesses were exactly the same.
