I don't think this is to support voice search: Google generally knows whether a query was initiated by voice or typing. Instead, I think it's because most users find what they're looking for faster with it.
If you have terms you don't want interpreted broadly you can put them in quotes.

- Zach_the_Lizard 4y agoGoogle "helpfully" ignores the quotes sometimes too. They're not the hard and fast rule they used to be. I preached the Gospel of Google when the competition was composed of web rings and Altavista, but Google in its infinite wisdom has abandoned the advanced user with changes of this nature.
