"Alexa – Customer embrace of Alexa continues, with Alexa-enabled devices among the best-selling items across all of Amazon. We’re seeing extremely strong adoption by other companies and developers that want to create their own experiences with Alexa.
There are now more than 30,000 skills for Alexa from outside developers, and customers can control more than 4,000 smart home devices from 1,200 unique brands with Alexa."
Meanwhile, Siri recently was able to tell me cricket scores :/
Despite the issues, I can definitely argue that using alexa has made my life more convenient. A lot of the skills are still awkward to use but I can 100% say that voice control has taken a lot of friction out of certain parts of my life.
i.e. music, news, the time, etc while getting ready in the morning or taking a shower.
Though it may not be as useful to you or the demographic to which you belong - there are plenty of households who enjoy the device multiple times a day, and multiple people in the same household.
