This used to be absolutely true but is now only mostly true. Setting reminders by saying "Google, remind me to do X at 3pm tomorrow" like you would to a normal person works now much better than aiming at a calendar. Same with quick searches. It's easier to do a voice search than type the terms on a phone, even with suggestions from your keyboard and Google.
