I've owned Echo for 4 years (switched to google home now), and used it to play music only once. It's purely assistant to me.

  You are in the minority. Most of the queries by far are for music use case.

    Do you have a source for that claim? Because I also rather rarely play music through mine. Most people I know who have one use it mainly for smart home control.

      Yeah, I would love to have some data on that too. We have a few HomePods around the house, and even though that is more of a music player than a smart speaker, we use the voice assistant for everything BUT music. Music is usually controlled with our phones or computers, casted to the HomePods.

        For some additional anecdotal data points: - I use mine exclusively for music. - My mom uses hers for a mix of home automation and music, but seems to be heavier toward the latter. Sometimes she'll play Jeopardy with it. - My grandparents use theirs exclusively for home automation.
