I wouldn't discount the amount of people using voice assist and rely on noise reduction/echo cancellation in their meetings, or the near future where we have SMPTE 2098 renderers running on HTPCs.

I really think we're only a few years away from seeing a lot more realtime DSP in consumer applications. Conferencing, gaming, and content consumption all benefit immensely, and it would good for us all to start thinking about the latency penalty on audio-centric HCI like we do for video.
