I have no reason to doubt you, but that does not mirror my experience. I generally don’t have to think at all about iOS. It just silently does everything I need, including backups with no fuss. The only time I have to think is every three years when I upgrade, but that has always gone seamlessly. Siri being bad is probably more to do with data collection / privacy. I’ve not looked into it, but that’s my assumption.
