I didnt disclose as I was not gonna promote anything, but I work for a startup specializing in on-device voice recognition. I am 100% biased towards on-device voice processing :)

i just wanted to share my 2 cents, as it's not unique to Apple and the cloud can be costly even if you own it. Big tech has been investing in on-device for a while. besides voice commands, apple and google do transcription locally too. because now you can have local speech to text with cloud level accuracy and of all the reasons you shared - cost, privacy, latency etc. (but again, i'm biased)
