I don't know anyone who believes that Siri is as good as Alexa. I spent four months self-isolating in an apartment with the small hockey puck Alexa devices in random corners and returned to my big open plan apartment with two paired HomePods on the kitchen counter.
The frequency with which Siri shits its pants (can't help, asks me to excuse it being slow as it tries to set a timer, mishears me, etc.) is honestly remarkable.
(Not to mention the fact that my phone continues to alert me to text messages read on my Mac or iPad whole minutes ago.)
Apple is still working to overcome deep problems in both its cloud infrastructure and AI/ML. If they cannot be honest about this, they should not be dishonestly trying to present a picture of all being well.
