Why is voice recognition important?

For phone OSes? Seriously? 50% or more of my interactions with my phone are:

"Get directions to X"

"Set timer for 20 minutes"

"search for local banks"

"Call X"

"<name of restaurant> hours"

If Open Source phone OSs can't do that, they won't compete with the spyware OSs.
