I expect them to improve their voice recognition which is way behind essentially everyone else's, especially Google's. There's nothing wrong with improving the tech in this manner as long as user's aren't surprised by it.

The fact that people are surprised by it is a problem though.

This is not Python, where the principle of least surprise applies :)

Given the way this is being debated, it's almost certainly undesired by customers and even potentially problematic under the GDPR.
