Apple can afford to experiment and waste their money in the millions, because they are profitable in the billions. AI doesn't affect Apple's core central products at all. It's complementary.
Unlike the majority of so-called ChatGPT-wrapper and VC fuelled LLM companies burning millions a day on training and scrambling to compete with $0 on-device AI models.
Apple does not need to compete with OpenAI (Although Apple has the hardware and software to do so) and can do so at any time. Google is the one that needs to. So all of the "But but but Siri", "Siri is garbage", "Apple isn't doing anything with Siri", etc isn't even the point.
On-device LLMs or AI is the thing that matters to Apple and Siri will likely transition to a hybrid offline / online system eventually. Apple is in no rush to compete.
