That's not at all how voice assists are meant to work. Voice icon in cars/remotes are all meant to provide answers or take commands irrespective of what's happening on that device or other devices they control.

I don’t think you can make such a blanket statement.

I think this behavior is what I would expect (search within open app first) and when it’s not present, it’s frustrating.

Quite the opposite, context is a critical aspect voice assistants currently lack.
