Isn’t good? That’s rather hyperbolic of you.

Is good enough for the cast majority of users but not as slick and quite as feature rich as the competitors? Sure.

But the privacy angle means it’s the only game in town as far as I’m concerned

The privacy angle is just a marketing ruse for chumps. When your product is worse than all others to the point of being nearly useless, you play up privacy even if you're collecting the same information (as with iCloud apps) and simply not processing it correctly, pretending that processing the data is anti-privacy.

Ask the people whose Alexa and Google searches was used as evidence against them in court whether privacy is just a "marketing ruse for chumps."

The correct way to handle this is to leave the option of retaining history up to the user. Most users want to look up what they have asked before. https://www.google.com/amp/bgr.com/2016/06/01/google-home-in...

Apple keeps that history tied to a unique user identifier for six months but doesn't let the user see it.
