Exactly. We've seen a constant improvement in the tech for decades. I remember before color lcd phones that they had "voice control" and today we have assistants, which are orders of magnitude more sophisticated. Yet, it hasn't stuck. I'm exclusively using Siri to set timers. Most people are like me, or don't use it at all. Some use assistants for googling factoids or something. Fidelity wise, it's really underwhelming. It's not a social acceptance issue, because people would still use it at home, and they don't. It's a small chance there's some key UI insight missing (discoverability for one), but I doubt it. Even with perfect UI, natural language is quite flawed when you're dealing with technical details (see exhibit on variable naming). Anyway, the chances of Github solving this in an exceptionally difficult subdomain, as a side project, seems like a... Let's say, long shot. That said, the silver lining in all these billions spent on voice interfaces is accessibility. For some people, these things are a life saver.
