And if it's anything like siri, it can barely do anything useful, so it doesn't matter if it understands you.

I find Siri really useful - for a very limited set of tasks where recognition is about 100% and being hands free has a benefit. Typically this is starting exercise workouts and countdown timers. For more general tasks the recognition is still good (for me, seems to cary by voice) but even at 90% there will be one mistakes in most requests.
counter point, I use my alexa daily and don't run into many issues with voice recognition, or it's lack of understanding.
Daily uses:
1) in the AM i set up all my needed reminders for 5 minutes before every meeting I have
2) it's connected to my hue bridge so I can turn off/on lights by asking while laying in bed, which is wonderful.
3) I play music all day.
4) It reminds me 10 minutes before every sunset to go outside for a walk.
