Others have explained pretty well how to examine your threat model, and what is realistic and what is not.
What I notice though, is that you seem kind of panicked. You're worried about a myriad of different threats. Is there something that has happened in your life that has drastically changed your threat model or did you just read a lot and start worrying?
If it's the second, slow down. Things won't drastically change. Pick one thing (Let's say the recording without your awareness aspect), read up about it, just not on conspiracy websites, understand how privacy controls work, what they can and can't control, how the OS handles these things, etc. Look at what your settings in that regard, look at what you want to change (if anything), and how it affects your day-to-day life. Live with the changes for a while, until you get used to them. Then move to the next topic.
If it's the first, then still look at the different aspects one after the other. You won't be helping anything by panicking.
