~150 inadvertent activations is pretty low for the number of devices times however many years it spans.

From the linked article

But VRT NWS said that 153 of the 1,000 recordings it listened to "were conversations that should never have been recorded and during which the command 'OK Google' was clearly not given."

15% of the recordings these reporters listened to were "inadvertant." I'd say that's pretty high.
