Except that they don't. They both use feminine voice in the US market, but Siri is male in many countries. Countries with British English, French, Dutch and Arabic all have masculine voice as the default.
That siri and google voice assistants is a reflection on user studies. Apple apparently did unique studies in all countries which they customized their phone for and thus they use different defaults depending on where the phone is sold.
