It's not really a conspiracy when we have multiple examples of high profile companies doing exactly this. And it keeps happening. Granted I'm unaware of cases of this occuring currently with professional AI services but it's basic security 101 that you should never let anything even have the remote opportunity to ingest data unless you don't care about the data.

Do you have any citations or sources for this at all?
To be pedantic, it is still a conspiracy, just no longer a theory.
