the entire point of these assistant technologies is supposed to be that they seamlessly integrate with the environment. If you have to do long button presses or avoid this or that you can just open Spotify yourself and click play. Given that the benefit you get out of this stuff is likely marginal to begin with failing in 5% of cases is already way too much.
At this point to me it seems like most of it is basically toy technology without any real benefit unless you're visually impaired or unable to use your hands or something. People went from voice messaging to texting with other people because tactile inputs are often faster, so it's always puzzled me what the point is of talking to machines who can't even understand things properly half the time.

On this point, they work super well. They're just not magic or perfect. However, it definitely IS useful to state the point that way, because it makes it easier to argue that they're pointless toy technologies, thereby allowing you to feel superior.
