You're limiting your thinking to the paradigm of visual interfaces paired with a mouse and keyboard. When all you have is a hammer...

Here's some examples where bandwidth and latency wins with speech:

1. "Play here comes the sun" vs. opening spotify, waiting, clicking the search box, typing here comes the sun, pressing enter, waiting, scanning the page and clicking the right song.

2. "Send email to John asking him if he would like to Play golf" vs. opening Gmail, waiting, clicking compose, start typing john, click the right email, tab to subject... etc.

There are cases where keyboard and mouse input is better... e.g. editing text, graphics production and editing, etc.. But certainly not in "almost all tasks" as you say. I think speech is the 3rd big computer interface that complements the mouse and keyboard and will make computers more productive and convenient for everyone regardless if you have a disability.

Which John? Which of that John's contact points you have saved?

..and why don't you have the keyboard shortcuts for those actions committed to muscle memory by now?
