Eh, this seems to be missing one important detail. At least it's massively important to me as a potential buyer of an AI home assistant. That detail is that HomePod doesn't spy on me. It does not upload audio recordings of my home and it even shows a visual indication when it is listening at all. Doing speech recognision on the device is way harder, so it's not a surprise to see them being later to market than others. However this makes Apple's product the only viable one on the market for me.
