If you can use a hot-word, what's wrong with using voice recognition to achieve what you want to do anyway? Using voice takes less effort.

Absolutely, you can use the same utterances to invoke the same intents in a car from a home setting.

"Alexa, set temperature to <x> degrees"

"Alexa, set volume to <x> or increase/decrease volume"

sometimes voice is less appropriate. I would much rather use a gesture than voice command in a library or at work
