Leon: Open-source, self-hosted personal assistant

They do actually do on device processing now…

Siri, G Assistant, Alexa, Bixby, Sonos all perform at least some locally. It seems the major issue is large dictionaries (eg music libraries) or complex queries. Most had an article about how basic features (times, smart home) work entirely on device.

When my internet is out, Alexa won't even listen to me (besides her name)

Same with Siri (Homekit Mini). It won't even answer a question that doesn't need the internet like the time.

Do any of them have a setting to enforce on device processing only?

Sonos claims to be on device only. It’s not a general purpose assistant though
