It's objectively worse than a switch or a remote control. Home automation is only nice when it is passive. The moment you need to interact with it, it stops being automation and becomes multiple layers of abstraction to deal with to do an otherwise simple task. I have several blind friends, they use voice assistants, but don't particularly like them. In all honesty, a lot of voice-based stuff isn't that advanced versus what were using 15-20 years ago with Wildfire. For productivity for disabled users, they're quite mediocre in many ways. Not saying they're terrible, but I am saying there's a very long road ahead, and being a minority means it is low priority and low understanding for most corps. Their focus is on gimmicks over substance.
