I had the same thought. As far as I can tell, they are leaning on the ability to pause recording at any time, meaning that in all-party consent states, it's up to the user to disclose that they are employing a recording device. That seemingly defeats the point of the device in many situations where the default state should be off. I would most benefit from something like this in public situations where I'm meeting a lot of people, but it'd be impractical to use it that way where I live.
