How about you just disable Siri like everyone else? :-) I work with my macbook 12+ hours a day and this never, ever, happened to me.

Yes, read the last sentence of my comment. Updates might re enable it. If your battery runs out, the same happens.
I've removed the Siri button from the touchbar the day I got my MacBook, more than a year ago, and it never appeared again. Might be a problem on your system? Usually resetting the NVRAM/PRAM solves this kind of problems, but it's basically black magic.
Did you remove the Siri button from the touch bar, or disable Siri altogether? Maybe try doing both.
I removed it once. I may be mistaken here, but if I recall, removing it slightly shifted the layout of the other keys throwing off my muscle memory for the f keys.

I'm interested in a solution. I probably hit that key unintentionally 10 times a day.

Perhaps you could replace the Siri button with a similar sized button if one is available, in order to keep the spacing. (I don't have a touchbar Macbook, so I don't really know what's available.)
