Not a big Siri fan myself but isn't the whole point of the Homepod to combine music + Siri? From Apple.com: „...It’s the ultimate music authority, bringing together Apple Music and Siri...“

so 1) (iTunes != Apple Music) + 2) don't really make sense

They don’t have to cripple the speakers as a music player to integrate siri; siri could just work with apple music for people who want to use it. Itunes certainly manages to mix and match just fine!

Plus so much good music never made it to itunes.
