A limited subset of functionality should already be possible, especially if they can have the speech recognition trained specifically to the user.

I get the impression that this is already happening to a certain extent and they are testing the water. On newer/faster devices, you’ll notice Siri transcribing on the screen nearly instantaneously, faster than any server round trip, but with poor accuracy. Then a few seconds later once the server connection is established you’ll see some of the transcription change to be more accurate.
Voice Control does this, but it’s not particularly great. I doubt it’s seen significant updates in years.
