You can turn it off by going to Settings -> Siri & Search -> Listen for "Hey Siri".

It's not silently enabled by default. You choose on or off when setting up the device.

Yeah I'm sure it will be just as easy as it was on win10 ;)

I'm not sure what you're getting at. Neither "Hey Siri" nor Siri itself is enabled by default. It takes 3 seconds to disable if you ever change your mind. To imply otherwise is either ignorant or disingenuous.

We'll see how deeply embedded it is in the OS. Disabling Cortana didn't shut down Cortana.

I'm also looking forward to packet inspection.
