I don't understand why anyone would leave "Hey Siri" turned on. I do use Siri occasionally, but no result of any Siri query is of any value to me while my phone is in my pocket. If I'm going to take it out of my pocket anyway, there's no additional friction in pressing the home button.

Car. Nightstand. Kitchen counter while you cook/wash dishes. There's a myriad situations where you want to use your device hands-free. In fact, it's the driver behind an entire new product category (see Amazon Echo, Google Home, etc.).

"Hey Siri" feature is great! It has totally changed the way I interact with my phone. I use it everyday .. some of the commands are 1. Hey Siri what is the time ? (When i'm still in bed and my eyes are closed) 2. turn on all alarms. (yes I have multiple alarms to wake me up) 3. turn off all alarms. 4. Hey siri what song is this ? If i'm too lazy to open up shazam 5. Hey Siri remind me to do abc at 7am ...
