Sure, a huge part of the Siri/Alexa/Assistant business model is probably data collection. But does that mean all voice assistants ever inherently have no real end-user value? I don't regularly use them, but I would be very happy to find a reliable way to change music and send messages with my voice while driving.
Before the era of mass data harvesting, arguably useful utilities like the MS Office suite were loaded onto OSs to make users more likely to stay on that platform.
