I really don't understand why anyone would want any of these new Alexa products, your phone has all the same capabilities and it only takes an extra 4 seconds to pull your phone out and talk to Siri or Whichever other voice assistant you prefer.

Also, if you have the new Airpods they can already do 'Hey Siri' even with your phone in your pocket.

I suspect the draw here is intended to be for people who already wear glasses all the time, but I personally would trust Amazon exactly not at all with that kind of omnipresence.

like in video-games, latency kills the experience. You want to have the lower latency from where you want something (e.g. listen to music) and when it actually happens.
