That is not at all what is happening here. They are not 'remotely editing' your hardware any more than a corporate website who puts a support banner on their website for some cause. Siri, much like websites, is a service. Like a website, you are free to not use it if you so choose. Nothing has changed on your device, and if anything this is less of a feature than a banner on a website because you have to specifically invoke these actions.

I see Siri as an input feature for my phone, not a remote service. For Siri to pick and choose what it wants to accept feels like my keyboard refusing to type out phrases it doesn't like, or my monitor attaching little popups to content it finds offensive.
