You didn't look very closely at the website and just jumped to conclusions, didn't you?
They rank all the ones you mentioned as "Super creepy".

The 'meets our minimum security standards' seal is still next to the product.
This webcam[0] with a doggy treat dispenser attached to it gets the wreath, but when you scroll further down they tell you what's bad with it. On 2nd reading the wreath means "It meets our minimum security standard!". Woah, that's like giving a crown to someone finishing a 5K run 4 hours behind the leader, because "Reaching the finish means you're special!".
And it's enough for the manufacturer to promise shit in writing ("Yeah we have a privacy policy, and we have a button that says 'Delete my data'.") to "meet their minimum security standards".
It smells to me like the foundation is using their reputation for a money/favors grab ("That's a nice product you got, it would be bad if it didn't get our wreath.") -- maybe that's not their motivation, but that's what I'm smelling. The whole thing stinks it makes me wonder if I should uninstall Firefox...

"Insecure" and "Creepy" are not the same thing.
