Regardless of privacy issues the functionality they provide is very limited and not reliable in my opinion.

I had an Amazon Echo (Alexa) for some time. The only thing I used it for was toggling a smart bulb. Everything else was useless. Speech recognition isn’t reliable enough to be trusted for anything that impacts the real world like sending texts or ordering things and discoverability of what commands are supported is non-existent.
