swapoff, reformat, swapon?
Also make sure the drive isn't dying.

The employer doesn’t claim any intellectual property rights over my work product. I’m not able to find anywhere that the proprietary vendor does either.
You're probably in the clear. Legalese isn't so opaque that you would miss a section about this.
Of course, that doesn't stop them from suing you if they decide your work could be very profitable for them.
Even at big companies, devs get flexibility because they need to run a bunch of random stuff that can look sketchy to security software.
Sometimes it can’t connect to the server (which is a completely stupid necessity).
That's where it does the voice processing. The only processing it does on-device is the wake word and taking commands. Actually figuring out what you mean is done in The Cloud. Doing that on-device would not only make the devices significantly more expensive, but they would also rapidly become outdated.
The rest of your complaints are valid and I've experienced them all myself to boot.
Overkill and overpriced. If you're on Windows, bitlocker is enough. If you're on Linux, LUKS is enough.
I've used Apricorn drives at previous jobs. They're cool and very much fit for purpose, but I'd have a hard time justifying the significant price premium when software is nearly as good, free, and works with any drive.
It wouldn't be significantly different from any other access method.
Android provides this information natively under /sys. Exactly where depends on your version.
But if you want an app, merely searching F-Droid for "battery" produces a number of leads.
Sounds like a weak argument. They're not going to be inclined to operate a local ML system just for one or two people.
I would see if you can get a quote for locally-hosted transcription software you can run on your own, like Dragon Medical. Maybe reach out to your IT department to see if they already have a working relationship with Nuance for that software. If they're willing to get you started, you can probably just use that for dictation and nobody will notice or care.
What, exactly, are your privacy concerns about this?
